TOP (Tours Of Peace) Vietnam Veterans is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, created in 1998 for helping veterans and families throughprograms associated with Tours Of Peace.
TOP enables those impacted by war to move forward. Our Tours Of Peace include spouses, children and relatives of veterans, and those killed in action. Our logo colors are blue & green, symbolizing hope.
During the Vietnam War, the time a soldier served in Vietnam was called a “tour.” Today, the time veterans and families spend in Vietnam with TOP is a “Tour Of Peace.” Through revisiting the country where it all began, seeing Vietnam as it is today, and helping others in the process, the healing begins.
The Foundation is comprised of five programs: Veterans, Family, Humanitarian, Personal Effects, and Education. The programs are a result of our Tours Of Peace trips.
Our approach to veteran & family recovery integrates emotional and humanitarian components. Participants revisit old military sites of personal meaning, and conduct humanitarian projects nearby. By helping others, we help ourselves.
Korean War Veterans & family members,
Since 1975 the KVA, (Korea Veterans Association – Seoul) has hosted Korean War Veterans and their families by providing Free Hotel accommodations, bus tours of Seoul, Inchon and the DMZ, and all meals in Korea. The Land of Morning Calm remembers and sincerely appreciates all veterans who fought and sacrificed in securing freedom and democracy for the Republic of Korea. After selling out all three revisits in 2011, the Korean government is continuing to discount the veterans & family members/companion airfare for the 60th Anniversaries in 2013.
There will be major ceremonies throughout 2013 commemorating the important battles and campaigns of 1952. Demand was great in 2010, 2011 & 2012 with 10 sold out Revisits for 1000+ participants! Consequently, if you have NOT sent in your registrations, with deposit, you must do so ASAP to be considered for 2013. “First come, First served”, is the KWVA policy and there will be no deviations.

Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.
Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with over 800 World War II veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out.
I hope to see everyone at our meeting tomorrow. It should be a short one so more time to hang out and chat with one another.

Our Memorial Day (weekend) Poppy Drive was excellent. The tally so far is just over $670 dollars. I want to thank all of those who participated for their hard work.
