The Vietnam Veterans of America - Chapter 510 in Northern New Jersey, is part of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), the largest United States Congressionally Chartered National Service Organization, exclusively devoted to Vietnam and Vietnam Era Veterans. Our goal is to foster, encourage and promote improvement of the condition of Vietnam Veterans and their families. We bring together people, without regard to race, religion, or sex, who shared a common experience and any adult who wants to be an Associate Member to help further the association's goals.
Through our associations with VFW Post 6255, American Legion Post #174, DAV, and others, we are open and committed to helping our returning OIF/OEF Veterans as they return Home from the Global War on Terror. If you are an OIF/OEF Veteran and need some help, or guidance through the VA maze, come to one of our meetings and we'll do our best to help you!
To Our Returning Iraq & Afghanistan Troops
WELCOME HOME and THANK YOU!

Help for New Jersey Veterans returning from OIF/OEF Duty

Check out the State of New Jersey Department of Military Affairs' Yellow Ribbon Committee on Returning Combat Veterans Individual and Business Grants. In 2007, Governor Jon S. Corzine established the Yellow Ribbon Committee on Returning Combat Veterans (YRC) under the auspices of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to determine the emergent issues facing Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Veterans. In the FY 2008 New Jersey State Budget $1million was allocated to address the issues thus determined. A portion of this allocation was earmarked to provide relief, in the form of grants, for a range of veteran/family emergencies and business "Re-Start" assistance. Realizing the extent of the existing need and the obligation to render assistance to New Jersey veterans in recompense for their unselfish and heroic service, the Yellow Ribbon Program was funded for FY09.


Help for Veterans returning from the Iraqi war

Check out Afterdeployment.org* a new wellness resource site developed by DoD and VA Service Members, Veterans, and Military Families. If you've deployed, or know someone who has, you know that spending time in a war zone means being changed in some way. Some of these changes are good. But some of these changes may be causing problems for you or for someone you know. Having problems after a deployment is normal.



If you are a veteran in emotional crisis and need help RIGHT NOW, call this toll-free number 1-800-273-8255, available 24/7, and tell them you are a veteran. All calls are confidential [more information]

Veterans Affairs Suicide Hotline Begins
To ensure veterans with emotional crises have round-the-clock access to trained professionals, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has begun operation of a national suicide prevention hotline for veterans. To operate the national hotline, VA is partnering with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Veterans can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) and press "1" to reach the VA hotline, which will be staffed by mental health professionals in Canandaigua, N.Y. who will work closely with local VA mental health providers to help callers.
