Vietnam Veterans of America

Vietnam Veterans of America is a non-profit, congressionally chartered veterans service organization, dedicated to helping Vietnam-era veterans and their families obtain all the benefits and services to which they are entitled.   Our service representatives, however, represent veterans from all wars and eras.  VVA is located at 8719 Colesville Road, Suite 100, Suite 400, Silver Spring, MD. 20910.  Contact us at: (301) 585-4000 (telephone); (301) 585-0519 (fax); veteransbenefits@vva.org (e-mail).

In addition, VVA’s PTSD/Substance Abuse Committee is a valuable source of information about PTSD treatment programs for both the individual veteran and his or her family.  You can contact the Committee through the www.vva.org website. 

Many other veterans service organizations offer a wide range of services. Most states operate a department of veterans affairs and many states have a network of county veterans representatives. To locate accredited representatives, call or visit the nearest VA regional office.
