Our DAR Chapter is going to have a program we call "Commemoration on the Move". We will be obtaining names of Vietnam era Veterans in our community from our chapter membership. We will travel to these individuals homes to present them with certificates and other commemoration memorabilia. We will talk briefly with the veteran and family present about the purpose of the commemoration and officially welcome them home. This event was different in that it was not one big event. We located Vietnam veteran through our chapter's members. We traveled through our city visiting these veterans in their homes, or at a pre-determined location to thank them, present lapel pins and DAR certificates, a special letter from our Chapter Regent and other Commemorative information and materials. A short speech was made on the history of the 50th commemorative effort. This gave us the opportunity to visit veterans individually or in small groups, hear their stories and truly thank them. One of our chapter members reached out to about 30 of her former classmates who lived out of our local area. Many had not heard from her in years. They had marvelous conversations, each veteran truly expressing their gratitude that she had found them and told them about the Commemoration. Packages including all of the items listed below along with a special letter written by the Regent were mailed to each of them. Whether local or not, the gratitude expressed by all the veterans was overwhelming. Many said this is the first time anyone ever recognized them. Someone said the war was so long ago they don't think about it much anymore. Many thank you notes and letters were received. In times where various factors make it difficult to have a single large event, this method of reaching veterans truly worked and we would recommend it to other Commemorative Partners.

When Dawn's husband, a Vietnam veteran, has an appointment at the VA hospital, she attends with him and sets up a post at whatever door she is close too. As veterans come into the hospital, she checks to see if any are Vietnam veterans and if so, presents them with the lapel pins. If she has the proclamations and stickers, she also hands those out but she always tags a bag of lapel pins with her. As she walks down the hallways and sees Vietnam veterans, she will stop and give out a pin. Dawn said that she had approximately 6 visits to the VA hospital over the past couple months.

Reggie Rogers, director of Voluntary Service developed a VWC distribution plan to identify and recognize VWC recipients using his volunteers at the hospital. The volunteers modified an crash cart into a VWC cart. Each day the volunteer travel throughout the hospital and identify and present VWC recipients with their presidential proclamation and lapel pins. Mr. Rogers wants to expand the program to the VAMC in Murfreesboro in the future. The program began because of a Veteran doctor at Vanderbilt University who learned about the VWC from the Vet to Vet Tennessee website. After receiving the material from V2VT, Mr. Rogers contacted and presented the veteran doctors with his VWC material. No photos were taken since the presentations were conducted inside the VAMC facility.

We had separate meetings with Vietnam Veterans on 43 different occasions and locations. These are small encounters – sometimes a small group plans an event (too small to call an event) or it is an accidental meeting. These occur throughout Iowa as we carry them with us at all times. One of our Chapter members volunteers at the VA Hospital. Another person is a truck driver and meets a variety of folks. With Iowa being such a rural state and not all Veterans belong to a Veterans group, it is imperative that we recognize them where and when we can. This count is only for events not covered under a separate event where a Before Event form is completed.

Our members also carry pins so they can give pins to Vietnam Veterans that they meet in group sessions, restaurants, airports etc. We have found that Vietnam Veterans may not want to come to an event to honor them, so we go where the veterans are.
