Biographical / Historical

The North Carolina Vietnam Veterans, Inc. was formed in the early 1980s to bring local veterans together in the name of the proposed Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Capitol grounds in Raleigh. Though there is less and less talk of war in the organization, it still works toward awareness of the Vietnam Conflict through such activities as scholarships and memorials. NCVVI also provides an organization where Veterans can share their experiences and stay involved.
