Our Purpose

To provide education, preservation of Vietnam War history and social services including easing the effects and consequences of mental stress, battle fatigue, post traumatic stress disorder and genocide syndrome on families and others.

​Our Mission

Our motto expresses our mission best. We serve veterans in what capacity we can with what resources we can muster. We take positive and determined action in what chosen task we are given. We provide needed fellowship with our coalition members by working on common issues together. And we continue to build and support our communities through true coalition building.
