Welcome to the
Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 67
Home Page

May 2009
Enjoy Your Visit.

As the first chartered Pennsylvania chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America, Inc., Delco Chapter 67 was established in 1981 to bring information and services to our area veterans.

Chapter 67 is involved with veteran issues at the local, county and state level. Linked to our national office in Washington, D. C., we participate in the legislative process, on Capitol Hill, to protect and preserve our national veteran benefits and care. Through the participation of its membership, Vietnam Veterans of America provides a unified voice for veterans.

Our founding principal is "Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another." Our motto "In Service to America," directs our work, our families and our communities. Membership is our strength. Our chapter meetings are open to members and non-members alike. If you are considering joining our chapter or would just like to say hello, please stop in and check us out.
