"When you try to find funding for a VVA function, it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war"

- R. Lee Ermey

About this Quote

This quote by R. Lee Ermey talks to the kindness of people when it concerns supporting veterans. It recommends that when veterans organizations, such as the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), require financing, people want to come forward and provide their assistance. This is likely due to the truth that much of these people have an individual connection to the war, either through their own service or through a family member or buddy. Ermey's quote is a testament to the appreciation that many people have for those who have served in the military, and the determination of people to help out when veterans are in requirement. It is a suggestion of the value of supporting veterans and the companies that serve them.
