During the Vietnam War military personnel that served in Vietnam and Thailand *
were awarded the Vietnam Service Medal
and all, no matter what theatre of operation received the National Defense Medal
All Veterans that came home, unscaved by war feel very lucky
and, all wish to recognize our brothers and sisters as heroes that did not.
* Thailand service veterans were authorized the Vietnam Service Medal
in 1968 and 1969 in support of military operations in Vietnam

Supporting our troops, honoring our veterans,
and giving them all the respect they so rightfully deserve.

given to those that either were killed in action (KIA) or
were wounded in action. When you see a vet
with a Purple Heart license plate, please render a salute.

"to care for him who shall have borne the
battle and for his widow and his orphan...."
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln emphasized the debt owed to America's veterans and our citizens have honored that debt by creating the Department of Veterans Affairs whose responsibility it is to place into deeds those words.
Veterans Benefits Administration employees have a unique opportunity to serve America's veterans. Our mission is to see that our country's veterans and their dependents receive the benefits they so richly deserve. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to help repay those who so courageously and unselfishly served their country.
In performing our duties we must be constantly aware of the special status of those we serve. They responded willingly when called to duty to defend the people of the United States, risking their lives and limbs. We must respond just as willingly to their needs and those of their families.
