The Vietnam Veterans of America Flag














THE SYMBOLISM OF THE FLAG
VIETNAM VETERANS OF AMERICA
   
 
    
  
 The golden yellow background is the major color of the Vietnam Service Ribbon.


The seventeen campaign stars represent the 17 campaigns of the Vietnam War.

In the center between the campaign stars is the VVA Official Design.

The wreath surrounding the insignia is in natural colors, and made up of a laurel branch and a bundle of rice stalks, both tied together at the bottom with a strand of barbed wire. The rice represents Southeast Asia, the laurel signifies honor to all who served there, and the barbed wire reminds us of the POW's and MIA's for whom there still must be a proper accounting.
