⚓ Happy Birthday to the United States Navy!

Today, VFW Post 10141 proudly joins our nation in celebrating 251 years of service, sacrifice, and strength.

Since October 13, 1775, generations of American Sailors have answered the call—defending our nation, protecting our freedom, and serving around the world.

To all of our Navy veterans, active-duty Sailors, and their families: thank you for your service and the sacrifices you have made for our country.

From all of us at VFW Post 10141, Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Navy! 🇺🇸⚓

🇺🇸 What a turnout! Thank you to every sponsor, every player, and everyone who came out Saturday for the VFW Post 10141 Charity Golf Classic at The River Club. You made our first one something special, and every bit of it goes to work for veterans and their families right here in Manatee County. We're already looking forward to next year — see you out there. 🫡🇺🇸

Seventy-nine years ago today, the United States Air Force became its own branch. Since 1947, Airmen have flown, fixed, guarded, and supported every mission this country has asked of them — often from places most people will never hear about.

Happy 79th birthday to the U.S. Air Force, and thank you to every Airman who has worn the uniform.

Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Somewhere out there, families are still waiting on an answer that hasn't come. We don't forget them.

Tomorrow at noon, retired Navy Commander Bradley E. Smith joins us at the Post to tell his story. He was flying an A-4 Skyhawk on his 77th combat mission when he was shot down over North Vietnam in March 1966. He spent nearly seven years as a prisoner of war before coming home in 1973.

Bring your kids and grandkids. They will not get this from a textbook, and there aren't many men left who can tell it firsthand. It puts a bad day in perspective.
