By aligning with our post, you will be associated with our nationally recognizable brand and our more than 1.5 million VFW and Auxiliary members, plus their family members. More importantly you will be supporting programs and outreach here in your local community. If your organization or company is interested in working with us, please contact our Senior Vice Commander.
