Chapter Mission Statement
Our mission is to support the overall goals of the Vietnam Veterans of America organization. These goals are to promote and support the full range of issues important to Vietnam veterans, to create a new identity for this generation of veterans and to change public perception of Vietnam veterans.

2. To act as an informational resource center to service all veterans with information regarding health care, benefits, employment and training, monetary assistance and other veterans issues.
