Vietnam Veterans of America

Pinellas County Chapter 522

“Five Double Deuce”

“Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another.”


Welcome Home

While Chapter 522’s primary orientation is that of a service organization, we do organize a limited number of social events for members and friends of our chapter. These events create new and lasting friendships which we feel provides a family atmosphere within our organization.

We have held Superbowl parties for those members interested in the NFL. We have also held a fall picnic the past two years for those members who enjoy that type of food. Both gatherings are “bring a covered dish” affairs so as to minimize expenditures for the chapter.  Both of these events have been open to potential new members, old members of Chapter 522, and invited guests from some of our partnership organizations.

Our members also provide support to social events sponsored by other service organizations that we embrace, such as the Make-A-Difference casino night. Chapter 522 normally sponsors a table at this event and several of our members attend the event each year.

We have other events that are a combination or work and social event. A good example of this type of activity are the weekend “fix-it” program where members get together to work on a home repair project for one of our  members who is a disabled veterans. We provide a needed service, we have some laughs, and maybe a simple meal together.

Shown below are some pictures from some of these events.
