Vets Helping

BUDDY POPPIES

In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields'. After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol of Remembrance.

THE POEMTHE SONG

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.

13th Annual Auxiliary Ride Postpone
 
To All,

At the VFW Post 8385 Auxiliary meeting tonight, Thursday, March 19th, 2020, we voted to postpone our annual ride until all this with COVID-19, is behind us. As soon as this is past us we will go back to the co-op & set another date. We also voted tonight to send our Department President $1000.00 for her special project, American Vet Dogs. When we reschedule our ride we will send her some more money.

Thanking you for all you do for our Veterans.

Florrie Elmgren. President
VFW Auxiliary Post 8385
