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 V V A 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 V V A. 17 November 1995. Our Membership is at 387 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 V V A a national charter, a distinction we share with other major veterans organizations. The V V A 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.
