Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help, you are NOT alone!

#STILLSERVING

Building on a legacy of service that spans more than a century, #StillServing represents the heart of the VFW and its members, and conveys what today’s VFW embodies. The VFW encourages all veterans to share stories on social media using #StillServing to show how they continue to answer the call to serve in ways big and small. In addition, family or friends are asked to use #StillServing in social media posts to honor a veteran in their lives who believes the spirit of service transcends military life.

"Buddy" Poppies

 In Flanders Fields by John McCrae:   In Flanders fields the poppies blow  Between the crosses row on row,  That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly  Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago  We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,  Loved and were loved and now we lie  In Flanders fields.  Take up our quarrel with the foe:  To you, from failing hands we throw  The torch; be yours to hold it high.  If ye break faith with us who die  We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,  In Flanders fields.
