What does VVAW stand for?

• A. Veterans Against the War in Vietnam
• B. Vietnam Veterans Against the War
• C. Vietnam Veterans Association of the World
• D. Veterans for a Value of War

Answer: (B)

This acronym stands for a veterans group formed during the Vietnam era by people who opposed U.S. involvement in the war. The established name is Vietnam Veterans Against the War, which matches the meaning and stance of the organization. It emerged in the late 1960s and became a visible antiwar voice, with members like John Kerry helping bring attention to their cause. The other forms mix up or add words that don’t reflect how the group actually named itself—adding “in,” changing “Association,” or adding “World”—so they don’t fit the real organization.
