I am a Vietnam Veteran born in Davenport but lived in both Bettendorf and Davenport as a child. I was just recently elected a Vice President on the Board of Chapter 472 here in San Diego. I am comparing your website with ours - yours is better. Hoping to visit in a few months.

Greetings Brother,

My name is Bob Abel, and I’m a member of VVA Chapter #947 in Fort Madison, IA. I’ve been thinking about setting up a website for the chapter and found myself on your website today. My question is, what if anything may we borrow from your website for use on our new site? I really like the layout and graphics. Thanks!

I'm a chapter 776 member who has relocated to Alabama. I still receive your news letter although it has to be forwarded from my old address in Davenport, IA.

Could you please make the address correction for me. I'd transfer to a local chapter here but there isn't one, besides I really enjoy keeping up with whats going on with your group.

Many thanks to everyone who showed up to help sort and fill orders for the Toys for Tots on Tues. evening 11/30.
SSgt Huddleston figured we filled over 100 bags w/ toys. He also said he could use our help again before distribution on the 12th or 13th of December.

The evening seemed to work fine - I'll get ahold of Lyle and see if we can't set something up and we'll let everyone know.

Thanks again - what a great group!

I was once what was called an associate member of the VVA and was hoping to get reinvolved with the Vietnam Veterans. The Chapter 199 is the chapter I had been involved with. The meeting were every other month held in Bettendorf. Chuck Schantag is the one who got me involved origanally. It has been to long for me. I owe the Vietnam Veteran my life. Any time I have needed a friend one or more of you have shown up. I also would like to find if possible a couple of veterans I use to write. I would like to find if possible someone who served with my brother Henry George Velthoff, he was artillery in Dec. of 1969 - Feb. 1970. The Black horse had something to do with his unit.

Thank you for any help you could give me.
