  Welcome to Post 6873

 

Angel Tree

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Angel Tree program.  We raised $570.00 through the gift card and computer system raffles.  Your contributions helped provide a minimum of two complete sets of clothing to 13 children.

Congratulations to Aivars Jurkis who won the $150.00 gift card and to Mr. Nichols who won the computer system.

 

 



The Veterans of Foreign Wars—or VFW for short, was originally founded in 1899 as the American Veterans of Foreign Service and is a voice for returning and currently deployed servicemembers and their families. The 2.4 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliaries are located in 8,500 VFW posts around the world. We welcome everyone who meets VFW eligibility requirements, regardless of age, race, religion, or gender.
