We are hosting our Meat Madness tomorrow at noon, so we can all enjoy the big game together. The Post will have the game on the big TV and will be serving free food. Come play and stay for the game. See you there!

We were happy to help this local family after their devastating loss! Thanks to the members and our community for partnering with us. Your support of our Meat Madness and other fundraisers allow us to do this. Visiting the Post to listen to music, have a drink, a soda or sing a song at karaoke are other ways to help (and also really fun). Ask us for others way you can help!

Today at VFW 7272, the Members and Auxiliary made a donation of $1,250 to the Judge family of Bellingham. The family experienced a fire inside their home, which gutted the interior and caused the loss of all their belongings. John is a US Marine veteran. We are grateful to be able to lend this family a helping hand. May God bless them, Bellingham and the USA.
