Westchester Vietnam vets meeting next week

February
29

Westchester’s Chapter 49 of Vietnam Veterans of America is meeting Thursday (March 6) in White Plains.

Longtime veterans activist Dan Griffin, the chapter’s executive director, says the group is starting a food drive to help stock the food pantry at the Montrose VA hospital.

Also on the agenda is a discussion on reviving the chapter’s security deposit program for homeless veterans. The program helps qualified,  pre-screened vets trying to get back on their feet by paying the security deposit when they find an appropriate apartment.

If you’re a Vietnam veteran and you haven’t joined the VVA, you should check it out. They’re all about veterans helping and supporting each other.  Take a look at the Chapter 49 website to see their newsletter and learn about their activities. Better yet, stop by next week’s meeting, which starts at 7:30 p.m. at the White Plains American Legion Post 135, located at 59 Mitchell Place.
