The Veterans Association of Sailors of the Vietnam War is founded on the principle of furthering the benefits for Veteran Sailors of the Vietnam War, their families and survivors, and other Veterans of the Vietnam War, and the Vietnam Era who have been damaged by exposure to Dioxins from herbicides used, stored, or transshipped during that war.  We welcome those who agree with and support our causes and efforts.

We espouse the concept that no one shall be left behind. We equally espouse the concept of a broad based, grass roots, common-sense effort to support any legislation that will further that cause, and do so expeditiously, and at no delay to others.  We espouse the concept of mutual support, and comradeship among our member shipmates and comrades.

We believe in fairness, openness, and the inclusion of all in decision-making.   Each member shall have full say, and each member shall have available full knowledge of the issues at hand.  Each member is eligible for positions in leadership.  Widows, survivors, and Veterans Advocates are welcome as members.

Membership is free.
