It is yesterday's defenders of freedom that make up Today's VFW.
Our Mission:
To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts, serve our veterans, the military, & our communities, and advocate on behalf of all veterans.
Our Vision:
Ensure that veterans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.
...we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.
WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War, Kosovo, War in Afghanistan, War in Iraq, War on Global Terror and other Peace-Keeping Expeditionary Campaigns throughout the globe.
Comrades of Post 4588, the post has lot of events coming up in December and will need some assistance if you are available.
