VVA Chapter 227 was formed July 24, 1985 and incorporated as a non-profit organization in the Commonwealth of Virginia in January, 1986. We welcome all Vietnam-era veterans to join us. Others, such as Red Cross workers or civilians who served In Vietnam, as well as friends and relatives are eligible to join the Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America (AVVA).

VVA'S Founding Principle:
"Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another."
