If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An appeal already labeled can still arrive.
- Receipts are separate. Stopping fundraising mail does not stop a donor receipt if you gave.
- A later gift can start it again. A later donation can put the address back on a file.
Why Do You Receive Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Mail?
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is the nonprofit Congress authorized in 1980 to build a national memorial for everyone who served with U.S. armed forces in the Vietnam War. Veterans led by Jan C. Scruggs incorporated it on April 27, 1979. The Wall in Washington opened in 1982 and now draws about 5.6 million visitors a year. VVMF sits in Arlington, Virginia, and still preserves the memorial, runs The Wall That Heals replica, and solicits donations. The leftover mail is a fundraising appeal, not a donor receipt.
You get that mail if you gave, visited, or landed on a list they mail. They may share donor lists one time with selected nonprofits. The leftover appeal is often a Wall ask after you already gave.

DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund as it is not an active member of the ANA.

OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to the Privacy Statement page, or call +1-202-330-0960, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of postal solicitation.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an appeal arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Donor receipts can still arrive if you gave.
How do I stop Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund mail for a previous resident?
Call Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund at +1-202-330-0960 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
