Well done ladies!!!

Thursday we had the distinct pleasure of presenting 5 very deserving middle school students with award certificates and checks for their essays submitted to our Post for the Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW Patriots Pen essay contest.

The theme for this year was, “How do I show patriotism and support for my country?” and these students “as well as their peers” submitted some incredible compositions. It was hard to just choose five!

A big thank you to Shenendehowa Central School District teachers and administrators for supporting our essay programs and congratulations to Amara, Austin, Kalliliah, Ryan and Sophia!

Well done!

Earlier this week we had the opportunity to drop off $3000 worth of clothing and 25 boxes of food at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.

The 25 boxes of food were generously donated by the Town of Halfmoon, New York. The clothing, well that comes from YOU! (The amazing and generous citizens of Town of Clifton Park and Town of Halfmoon) our November Poppy Drive allowed us to purchase our budgeted amount of clothing to donate.

When you give us $$ we turn it right around and support local Veterans. It stays local, and every cent helps.

Again, a huge thank you to Price Chopper Supermarkets and Fred the Butcher for allowing us to set up shop at their locations to conduct our Poppy Drive.

We can’t do what we do without you!

Thank you all so much!!!
