TOP (Tours Of Peace) Vietnam
Veterans is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1998
by a Vietnam veteran, to help
veterans and families heal and find peace through
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.

In Vietnam, TOP and
participants retrieve personal effects, left behind during the war. We
bring back numerous dog tags, and miscellaneous items (from clothing to
pay cards). Upon return, TOP researches and attempts to return these
effects to families and veterans. |

TOP educates
the public about Vietnam veteran & family issues, the Vietnam War, and
Vietnam as it is today. We
are a resource to the International community.

TOP receives no governmental
help, and is not financially associated with other organizations. We are
not a tourist company and do not profit from trips. TOP is unaffiliated
with political or religious causes. The success of our programs depends on
contributions. We welcome your support and participation. Together, we
make it happen.
