July/August 2017 coverCOMMITTED TO COMMUNITY: In this issue we highlight just a few of VVA’s achievements in pursuit of its motto, “In Service to America.” Most of the projects have originated within chapters, some come from state councils and at-large members, and many are the result of collaborations, but all combine creative idealism with pragmatic practicality. They’re also all expressions of love for their community and for their fellow veterans: They saw a need and resolved to make it right. [on the cover]
