Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Dream of battled fields no more.
Days of danger, nights of waking."
-------------Sir Walter Scott-------------








DO YOU BELONG WITH US?

There is a common bond that exists between the men who have shared the military experience: A shared sense of duty and a common belief in a cause higher than self. Our nations' veterans chose to serve and by doing so, assumed all the risks associated with maintaining freedom. VFW members are here because they understand the true essence of America and its ideals and beliefs and the price they paid to be eligible to join the ranks of the VFW.
