"Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another."

 

MISSION STATEMENT

 

The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1041, Martin County, is comprised of 100% active duty Veterans of the Vietnam era.  Almost all are combat veterans and many have disabilities of one form or another from their combat duty.  However, we consider ourselves “The Lucky ones”.  Our mission is to bring honor, respect, and aid to veterans of all eras.  We have no payroll, we pay no rent, we give of ourselves to aid other veterans, and nearly 100% of the money we raise goes to fulfill this mission in the local community.

 

Below are some of the projects we are currently working on or have planned:

 

Veterans Homeless Prevention Rapid Response Fund:

A fund of money that can be taped into in a matter of  hours to prevent eviction of veterans and their families giving them time to work out a more long term solution and by working with the Martin County Office of Veterans Services.

 

Long Term Housing for Paralyzed Veterans:

Working with other agencies we hope to remodel single family homes so they are suited for the special needs of physically handicapped veterans.

 

Memorial Brick Markers:

Working with the City of Stuart to relocate existing Memorial Brick Markers and provide for new Memorial Brick Markers as part of the remodeled Veterans Memorial Park in The City of Stuart we are expanding the number of memorial brick pavers and providing a lasting tribute to those that have served and sacrificed for their country.  To request a marker application email VVA1041@GMAIL.COM

 

Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall:

On October 25th to 28th of 2012 we will be bringing the Vietnam Traveling Wall to Martin County.  The wall is a 3/5 scale of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. and is almost 300 feet from end to end.  The Wall will be on display for 4 days.  Information can be found at www.reflectionsonvietnam.com
