AVVA

Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America is a national, nonprofit membership and service organization dedicated to advancing the full range of issues affecting Vietnam veterans, their families, and their communities.

 Our members are families, friends, and supporters of Vietnam veterans, as well as Vietnam veterans and veterans of other eras.

 AVVA brings a focus on those who stayed behind when our men and women in uniform answered the call to service. This is the extended family that makes up the Vietnam experience - the parents, spouses, children, friends, and communities of veterans.

AVVA is the place for this extended family to join together for action, healing, reconciliation, mutual support, and fellowship.

AVVA remains affiliated with Vietnam Veterans of America, lending the expertise and leadership of its members in all of VVA's programs.

Membership Eligibility

Membership in AVVA is open to anyone. Our members include spouses, parents, children, and friends of Vietnam veterans. All veterans are welcome to join AVVA. Veterans who served during the Vietnam era (February 28, 1961 to May 7, 1975) may join as non-voting members.

AVVA members can affiliate with any of the more than 600 chapters of Vietnam Veterans of America.
