FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
“Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another.”
VVA knows what returning veterans face. We have been through it before and we know that, despite all the rhetoric, returning veterans will face major problems. VVA will be here for as long as it takes to make sure that those who serve our country receive the care and respect they have earned.
Keep Moving!!!!!
