VVA Chapter 126 has has served the New York City veterans community since 1983.

As the Vietnam Veterans of America chapter in Manhattan, we work to advance VVA's mission in the largest city in our nation.

Our mission is to ensure the appropriate recognition of military service, to assist veterans in obtaining benefits, and to provide service and leadership to our community.

We are a 501(c)19 non-profit organization, dedicated to continued service to veterans in need of assistance.

 

We provide services and support to veterans of all eras - including our newest generation of veterans from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. Through our Veterans Service Officers, our support of the Veterans of Modern Warfare and our work to aid our wounded warriors and others suffering the effects of combat.

 

With the increase of veteran suicide, homelessness, PTSD, and the current opioid and substance dependence epidemic, there is so much for us to do.

 

We need your support. You can make a difference.

 Every day, we strive in every way possible to uphold our motto:

 We invite you to join us in achieving our mission.

President: Fred Gasior
