Gen. John W. Vessey Jr. CHAPTER

Our Mission

We provide advocacy by being the voice for the military service member- the Army soldier and his/her family. We carry the message into our communities, to our civic leaders, social organizations, and our employers on how important a strong and responsive Army force is needed in today’s ever-changing and challenging world.

The General John W. Vessey Jr. Chapter represents the premier voice and advocates for America’s Soldiers. Our dedicated team is committed to building the best professional and representative association for the world’s best Army.

our promise

The Vessey Chapter is dedicated to improving the lives of the soldiers and their families by supporting programs at the VA Hospital, encouraging places of faith to participate with us, supporting like-minded organizations and encouraging the business community to recognize the importance of the Military.

Volunteers make a tremendous impact on the lives of those who serve. Whether you give a few hours a month, set aside time to participate in a social event or take part in any of the countless other opportunities on a one-time, part-time, or regular basis, you can make a real difference in Minnesota’s soldiers and their families' lives. We invite you to explore volunteer opportunities with the Vessey Chapter.
