Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 131 in Berks County
Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 131 is a Berks County veterans group that meets once a month in Reading and posts what is going on for veterans in the area. Its site was made to be a place where veterans of all branches of the military, Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, can get information on what is going on in the Berks County Pennsylvania area, and the chapter says the site is open to veterans, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sisters, grandparents and friends of any veteran, living or deceased.
The chapter meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at the Reading Regional Airport, 2501 Bernville Road, Reading, PA 19605. A social gathering starts at 1:00 pm and the VVA meeting starts at 2:00 pm. The Associate Vietnam Veterans of America (AVVA) meeting is at 1:00, and information about joining AVVA is under the AVVA tab at vietnamveterans131.com. The site does not say who may attend a meeting or whether there are dues or any other cost, so ask the chapter before coming.
Chapter meeting dates listed for the rest of 2026 are October 8 and November 12. The chapter's Christmas party is December 10 at 12:30pm in its meeting room. The chapter also lists other veteran events in the county, such as the Veterans Day City Park Service at 11:00 on November 11 and Wreaths Across America at Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetary on December 19. More people are needed for the Chapter 131 color guard for parades; anyone interested is asked to contact Dave Ciscon.
Through the year the chapter holds various events to raise funds, and those funds are used to support veterans and veteran activities in Berks County and beyond rather than to benefit the chapter. The chapter describes the kind of help it wants to offer veterans and their families as anything from holding a hand in a time of need, to a ride to a doctor's appointment, to listening and pointing someone in the right direction.
