Vietnam Veterans of America Inc. Chapter 227 of Northern Virginia fulfilled their founding principle, “Never Again Will One Generation of Veterans Abandon Another,” by providing Holiday Cheer to military veterans, active duty personnel, and homeless families in several ways.
For the eleventh consecutive year, the Chapter provided gift cards in value from $75 for a single veteran to $225 for a married veteran with children for the Holidays. This year’s amount of $6,675 benefited 56 veterans and their families, an increase of 13 recipients from last year. Despite the higher number, a $25 increase for each assistance category was approved. The recipients are in the Veterans Administration Supportive Housing program for veterans and their families to assist in their transition from homelessness.
