TOP Vietnam Veterans offers support to Vietnam veteran’s families. We are committed to opening doors of communication between veterans and families, and helping them finally talk about the war. We recognize that for veterans to heal, their families need to be involved. TOP also provides opportunities of healing and closure for families who lost their loved ones. It is a chance to find missing pieces of the puzzle and gain understanding of their soldier’s Vietnam experience.
