VVA 751 Chapter History Chapter 751 Began in 1995 at the Vietnam Veterans Outreach Center in Lawton, Oklahoma. Veterans working with and through the Outreach Center realized that meaningful accomplishments could be achieved best by affiliating with a national organization. Vietnam Veterans of America offered us national identity and prestige and organizational guidance while allowing a grassroots approach to local Chapter management. As a VVA chapter we could collectively and effectively seek solutions to problems and concerns common to all Vietnam Era Veterans. Chapter 751 has grown progressively since our affiliation with VVA on 17 November 1995. Our Membership
is over members. We incorporated as a non-profit veteran’s organization under the laws of Oklahoma. In May of 1986 the United States Congress granted
the VVA a national charter, a distinction we share with other major veterans organizations. The VVA is the only Vietnam Veterans organization to be so
recognized. Americans have finally come to realize that they must separate the war from the warriors. Everyone that served our country during the Vietnam Era
shared the same risk of Vietnam service. Those in the military learned and earned the benefits of friendship, pride and self-esteem in serving in the
military. These and other benefits are found in the members of Chapter 751 as we help one another build and maintain productive and fulfilling lives. If you
served in Vietnam or in any other duty station during the Vietnam Era you belong with us in Chapter 751. This is YOUR organization, if you did not serve in the
military, but support those who did; you are eligible and welcome to join as an Associate. Your membership in V V A helps create a positive and constructive
image for all Vietnam Era veterans. You will help provide a stronger voice on such vital issues as the right to judicial review for veterans, POW/MIA affairs,
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) needs and all other issues of interest to veterans and their families. |
