Vietnam Veterans of America, Inc., Chapter 500, is one of many chapters in the nation and was chartered in 1990 as a 501c19 tax exempt veterans service organization. Chapter 500 participates in community volunteer service, projects, social and community events as well as awarding scholarships to deserving high school graduates that are attending an accredited college or university.
