The TOP Vietnam Veterans Education
Program is the knowledge component of the organization.
Since its inception, TOP has endeavored to provide bridges between the
needs and interests of Veterans, their families and the public and the
information available to meet those needs and interests. Our purpose is to
facilitate access to the data which will
help these groups reach understanding about:
- The Vietnam War
- Veterans' experiences
- The impact of the war on families and
survivors
- Available services for veterans
- Vietnam
today
Whether to heal emotional wounds, to
augment an historical study or to teach the younger generation about
America's longest war, TOP shares its' knowledge.

How We Serve
Each year TOP responds to enquiries from
those we serve. Although, the organization is often simply a conduit to
the appropriate resource, TOP is itself capable of providing first hand
information. Volunteers talk about their experiences of the war, the
affects of the war on their lives, the impact of returning to Vietnam with
TOP, and Vietnam today. We provide information to schools, at community
events and to the media.
Occasionally, we allow Educational
Program participants on trips. These participants help facilitate the
Education Program mission. Education Participants, on our trips, are fully
active in all aspects of the tour. They use their experience as material
for newspaper & magazine articles, books, and award-winning television
documentaries, related to TOP's Education Program goals, issues and
topics.
