VVA Chapter 955
The VVA in Wildwood is located inside of the American Legion Post 184. The shared post allows for multi-memberships through all service related organizations. Each year, the VVA and American Legion work together to help the community with donations, support, and relief for those in need.
​
VVA Chapter 955 is also responsible for the creation and management of the Wildwoods Vietnam Memorial Wall located at the corner of Ocean and Burk Avenues in Wildwood, NJ. The wall is a scaled replica of the wall in DC and draws thousands each year to pay respects to their loved ones, friends, and colleagues while visiting at the shore.
​
The Chapter 955 and the American Legion can be found at Fox Park every Sunday from the end of June through August for and many other times during the year. While providing protection for the park and enforcing rules, the VVA and American Legion also accepts donations at the gates. Please consider donating to the groups while visiting the next free event at Fox Park.
