Vietnam Veterans of America
Gary Hutchison Memorial Chapter 1028
In January 1978, a group of fifteen Vietnam veteran advocates got together in Washington, D. C., and
Government hold up its obligation to all veterans.
The VVA is a critical support service for our returning veterans. VVA became a membership
organization in 1979 and set to work on the issues it remains committed to today:

  • Improving the general welfare and hospital care of all veterans, especially homeless and disabled
    veterans.
  • Assisting veterans suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and other disabilities.
  • Working closely with veterans of other conflicts.
  • Taking the lead on women and minority veterans' issues
