We would welcome all Vietnam Veterans in the Central Iowa area to join us at our monthly meetings and become active members of our chapter.
The chapter is working toward having a monument placed at the Veterans Cemetary Van Meter, Iowa that will be a tribute to all those that served in the Vietnam War and have this monument jointly funded by all the Vietnam Veterans Chapters in Iowa. If you would like to donate, please see the contact information on home page 2.
This site is a work in progress. Pages will be added as we work with this site and are able to add information that will be of use or interest to Veterans. We will focus on those that served in the Vietnam War era, but will not limit ourselves to just Veterans of that era.
It is great to see the WWII Veterans be able to make the flights to Washington to view the monuments there. Hat's off/hand salute to Hy-Vee and Casey's Gerenal Stores for their generous donations that made these flights a reality. Those Veterans gave so much during that War, it is a well deserved thank you for their service.
