A HUGE THANK YOU TO LOCAL WINERIES FROM VIETNAM VETERANS OF U.S. NAVY AIR VAP-61 & 62

Angels Camp, CA...The men of the US Navy Heavy Attach Photographic Squadrons 61 & 62 (VAP-61 & 62) would like to thank the following wineries for the generous contribution to our annual reunion which took place October 14th through 18th this year in Reno, NV.




It was such an honor and humbling experience to bring some of the very finest California wines from our region to the reunion. These very high quality wines were very much enjoyed by the men who were astonished at the wonderful generosity these wineries so willingly contributed to the event.

We Vietnam vets stayed in the shadows for a long time and now to see an outpouring of gratitude and respect for us is overwhelming at times. This is much different than the less than welcoming reception we received from the public when returning home. This antithetical welcoming played a role in how uncomfortable many were in speaking about their service and experiences.

VAP 61/62 Humbly Thanks the following Calaveras Wineries for their generous donations to our reunion:
Irish Vineyards Tanner Vineyards Val Du Vino Winery
Vina Moda Winery Hatcher Winery Stevenot Winery
Chatom Vineyards Frog’s Tooth Vineyards Calaveras Wine And Beer Co.
Chiarella Wines Villa Vallecito Vineyards Zucca Mountain Vineyards
Four Winds Cellars Lavender Ridge Vineyard Brice Station
Indian Rock Vineyards Gossamer Cellars Hovey Winery
Domaine Becquet Winery Allegorie Winery
