The Veterans Association of Sailors of the Vietnam War is founded on the principle of furthering the benefits for Veteran Sailors of the Vietnam War, their families, and survivors, and other Veterans of the Vietnam War, and the Vietnam Era, who have been damaged by exposure to Dioxins from herbicides used or transported to Southeast Asia during that war. We also welcome those who agree with and support our causes and efforts.

We espouse the concept that no one shall be left behind. We equally espouse the concept of a broad based, grass roots, common-sense effort to support any legislation that will further that cause. And we espouse the concept of mutual support, and comradeship among our member shipmates.

We believe in fairness, openness, and the inclusion of all in decision-making. Each member shall have full say, and each member shall have available full knowledge of the issues at hand.

Membership is free. Widows, survivors, and Veterans Advocates are welcome as members. All we ask is that you actively support our efforts, including helping to develop our goals and objectives.

Membership requirements: You MUST have a valid, current email address, and you MUST register in the Directory of Members in the Database section within 48 hours of approval. It is accessed on the left link bar.
