Welcome to the Berks County
Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 131 Web site. Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 131 Berks County P. O. Box 13735 Reading Pa 19612-3735 I personally want to thank everyone who visits this site. This site is intended to help all people, weather you are a Vietnam Veteran, or not a veteran at all, but may know a veteran and are wondering what being a veteran is all about, and want to help veterans.
This site is also made possible by the combined effort of all members of the Berks County, Pa. VVA 131. Though out the year VVA 131 hold various events to raise funds, these funds are used to help veterans, the funds are never used to benefit VVA 131, but are used to support veteran's, and veteran activities in Berks County, and beyond.
