I was born and raised in Vandergrift .after joinning the USArmy in 1968 I left town for 9 yrs including 2tours of duty in Viet Nam . After traviling the world I came back to Vandergfrift because as I saw it then Vandergrift was the saffest city I know of to raise a familey. I don't know about now but all in all the city is still safe.
