Daughters of Vietnam Veterans
Laura Hammons, creator of Daughters of Vietnam Veterans (DOVV) aims to bring daughters (and sons) of Vietnam veterans together to celebrate art, and to raise awareness about secondary/vicarious PTSD. This site holds a special place in my heart because I’m a daughter of a Vietnam veteran–and a writer too.
Laura has been using her site to bring daughters and sons of Vietnam veterans together virtually, but we’ll be planning a Daughters (and Sons) of Vietnam Veterans conference for 2011 to bring people together in real time and place! We’re meeting in August in Washington, D.C. to begin the planning process!

My father was a Vietnam Veteran. Years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Diease. He was able to get benefits through the Veterans Association because of PTSD. We lost him about 3 years ago and I often wonder about other Vietnam Veterans, the struggles they deal with on a daily basis and their families.
