Vietnam Veterans of America - Chapter 510

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!

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.
