Honoring the Fallen, by serving the living!

Memorial Day Parade

The Memorial Day Parade is cancelled for 2020. The VFW and in concert with the American Legion will hold ceremonies to honor and remember the deceased throughout the morning.

Buddy Poppies

Buddy Poppy. Before Memorial Day in 1922, we conducted our first poppy distribution, becoming the first veterans' organization to organize a nationwide distribution. The poppy soon was adopted as the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, as it remains today.

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.
