Tours Of Peace
Tours Of Peace (TOP) Vietnam Veterans is a nonprofit organization to help fellow veterans recover
from the trauma of war. Through TOP, veterans have the opportunity to tour Vietnam or visit the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC.
To prepare veterans for the experience, Tours Of Peace Vietnam Veterans provides counseling and support sessions before, during, and after the trip.
In Vietnam, veterans return to their personal corner of the war. They see Vietnam as it is today. They return to base camps, visit South Vietnamese who still feel a bond with Americans, and meet North Vietnamese who want to reach out to former enemies. In addition to providing a rich cultural
experience, TOP gives veterans the opportunity to complete their missions, validate their sacrifices, and be recognized for their contributions.

Common Ground Journeys
Common Ground Journeys is a not for profit bicycle tour operator that
specializes in bicycle trips through Viet Nam. Their mission is to give people an
opportunity to see Viet Nam as it is today, meet her people and learn about their
culture while bicycle touring.
The tours are lead by a native of Viet Nam who is
now an American citizen living in Vancouver Washington. Any and all profits
above costs to produce the tour are left in Viet Nam as charitable contributions
to help further children's education in disadvantaged areas that see little if any
tourist dollars.
