Representing Post 124 in Pattaya! 🇺🇸🇹🇭

​VFW Post 124 was proud to be on the ground in Pattaya, Thailand, this past week for the Department of Pacific Areas (DPA) Convention.

​Our stellar delegation—Commander Jonathan Estoque, Adjutant Alex Fores, and Quartermaster Oscar Cano—represented our post with pride during the convention and business sessions.

​Let’s be honest: enduring a "working vacation" in Pattaya requires a very specific kind of discipline; but rest assured, our leadership made the ultimate sacrifice of attending meetings in a tropical paradise so the rest of us didn't have to! 😁🏝

​All jokes aside, it was a worthwhile week of critical VFW business, cross-post collaboration, and true comradeship across the Pacific. Proud of the work accomplished and we're ready for the leadership to bring those insights back home to our veterans and their families in Baguio 🫡

Today, VFW Post 124 joins the nation in recognizing Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the enduring spirit of freedom.

​On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to issue General Order No. 3, ensuring the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation. But the enforcement of that freedom was largely secured by the Union Army—including the roughly 180,000 Black soldiers of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) who took up arms during the Civil War.

​As veterans, we know that freedom is never guaranteed; it is defended. Today, we honor the legacy of the USCT, the Buffalo Soldiers, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the generations of Black service members who fought valiantly for the United States—even during times when those very freedoms were denied to them at home.

​Take time today to reflect on this history, celebrate the progress made, and honor all those who have stood on the front lines to defend liberty for everyone. 🇺🇸

Today, June 14th, VFW Post 124 proudly commemorates Flag Day.

​We pause to honor the American flag—the enduring symbol of our nation's freedom, resilience, and the profound sacrifices made by our military members who have defended it around the world.

Join us in paying tribute to Old Glory today and every day. 🇺🇸

Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Army! 🇺🇸

​Since June 14, 1775, the US Army has stood as a steadfast force defending freedom and protecting our nation's values. Today, VFW Post 124 proudly honors the legacy, courage, and sacrifice of all Army Soldiers—past and present. We pay tribute to the centuries of selfless service that have kept our country strong and our liberties secure.

​To all our Army veterans and active-duty service members: Thank you for answering the call. 🫡
