Welcome to the VQ Association Web-Site
This
site is respectfully dedicated to the accomplishments of an outstanding
team that have included Navy/Marine/Army and civilian technical
experts who have served, or are serving, their nation in Airborne
Intelligence gathering.
From the dark days of WWII, through the Cold War and
to the present confrontation in the Middle East, groups dedicated to the shadowy
task of intelligence gathering have proudly evolved into the present day VQ
and Support Agencies.
VQ units have been at the forefront in furthering our
national policy. Unheralded and unable to tell of their accomplishments, the
brave men and women of VQ can stand tall among the military's finest. Sadly,
many of our comrades have given their life in the line of duty. It is our solemn
mandate that we never forget their sacrifice and that we keep their memory alive.
To all those who served in the VQ community, many look
back at this service as perhaps the high point of their career. It is our purpose
to provide a venue where their past accomplishments can be documented, thus providing
a bridge from the past to present and then present a history to all those who
will follow.
