Welcome to VVA Chapter 805 in Roseburg, Oregon.

Founded in 1978, Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) is the only national Vietnam veterans organization congressionally chartered and exclusively dedicated to Vietnam-era veterans and their families.

We built and maintain for display the Traveling Wall of Oregon Veterans, shown at many community events throughout Douglas County. We provide the Honor Guard during final services at Veterans funerals. In the past we donated to Umpqua Community College through scholarships and made toy donations to children that might not otherwise receive gifts at Christmas. This year we gave scholarships to 13 high school seniors.
