Never Again will one Generation of Veterans abandon another
Vietnam Veterans of American Chapter 1030 Cumming Ga
Mission Statement
Vietnam Veterans of America (Chapter 1030) was formed in Forsyth County, Georgia in 2009, to primarily support Vietnam Veterans and to help meet the needs of all veterans and military families in Forsyth County Georgia and the surrounding area. In addition, we provide philanthropy and volunteer service for various charities as well as to provide scholarships money to deserving high school seniors.
Message from the President
Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 1030, Cumming, Georgia was established and chartered on September 9, 2009 by Vietnam Veterans of America National. Since then we have become the largest and most active VVA Chapter in Georgia.
Our mission is to support veterans of all eras and our community through volunteer service and financial support.
Although the era of Vietnam Veterans is aging, we continue to grow our Chapter membership each year. Our members embrace our mission and enjoy the social fellowship we encountered with our brothers and sisters.
Our Chapter is operated entirely by members who willingly volunteer. The finances to support these endeavors is solely dependent on donations and various raffles throughout the year. Over ninety percent of the funding goes directly to veterans and community support. Your donations are 100% tax deductible.
To all Vietnam Veterans reading this a hardy and well deserved "Welcome Home!"
Joe Donner, President
