Default Vietnam Veterans Corvette Club

Does anyone know anything about the Vietnam Veterans Corvette Club?
I met a guy at the VA today, with a Vietnam Veterans Corvette Club jacket on.
Didn't have the time to ask more about it.
Any help? Thanks, Kliph

I just Googled them and if you go to the Viet Nam Veterans Corvette Club website and look at the members list, there is only one member. Looks like he tried to get something started and nobody else was interested.

A few years back someone on the Forum promoted and later sent me both window stickers and embroidered patches that read "Vietnam Veteran Corvettes"

I still have them on display in the garage. Maybe the search feature can help you? You might have to go back a long way.

Good luck! from Dunkirk, NY

This would be great if a wide region or even nationally. However, given we are aging as a group, it might not be workable. Wish I'd learned of this sooner.

Welcome Home, Brothers.

Would be interesting to have Vietnam veterans, as forum members, to chime in to get a count. I display Vietnam patches on my Corvette and other vehicles. Be loud and be proud!! Welcome home, brothers!

This? There was a guy named Don who handled the clings a while ago. Not sure if he still does. Another guy did the patches. Not free, one of them asked for a donation when I got mine. But I wear them proudly on both cars. Top one's a patch, bottom one is a static. The guy with the patches email is / was Charlie@carols62.com
