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.
