Honoring Vietnam vets begins with you. By giving Vietnam vet donations, you are helping with this task. Though the Vietnam War was an unpopular one, people have come to realize that the men and women who fought in it were simply doing their jobs, much like the men and women are doing like jobs today in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. The fine tradition of serving their counrty’s mandates for democracy and freedom still stand the test of time and are as important today as they were back in the 1960s.

Today, the Vietnam Veterans Association in New Jersey has ambitious plans to honor, acknowledge and remember those men and women who fought so gallantly during this tumultous war. With their expansive and educational museum, you can learn more about this war and the experiences that the men and women who fought in it had to go through. While no war is pretty or kind, the Vietnam War is one that is still largely misunderstood by the general public. The Vietnam Veterans Association hopes to change all of that.
Currently, they are in the process of restoring a vintage Huey helicopter that was used in the war. This aircraft could be termed a war veteran herself and she needs a great deal of care in order to look and feel her best. With your Vietnam vet donations. These Hueys were used to airlift the injured soldiers out of the field and to get the medical help they so desperately needed. Your generous donations can help to fund this crucial restoration project that means so much to those men and women who fought in this war that was brought to the dinner tables of America through only sensationalized photographs and television segments. These showed nothing of what those men and women had to endure in Vietnam.
