🎉🇺🇸 What a day at the Post! We kicked off America’s 250th Birthday celebration in true patriotic style!
Today we proudly dedicated our brand-new Liberty Tree right here on the Post grounds — a living symbol of freedom generously donated by the Kentucky State Forestry Department.
Chief Lunsford delivered a, powerful speech about the Liberty Tree’s deep roots in American history and the courage of our Revolutionary War heroes. Bridgett Compton from the County Judge’s office kept everything running smoothly as our moderator.
It was an afternoon full of pride, history, and good company!
Here’s our group photo of Post members and special guests who made the day unforgettable.

The dedicated members of the VFW Auxiliary
recently brought joy, companionship, and heartfelt appreciation to our local heroes during the holiday season.
Our hardworking Auxiliary team visited veterans residing at Summit Manor Health & Rehabilitation Center in Columbia, as well as other home-bound veterans throughout Adair County and Russell County. Armed with smiles, holiday cheer, conversations, and small tokens of gratitude, they spent quality time listening to stories, sharing memories, and reminding these brave men and women that their service and sacrifices are never forgotten.
These acts of kindness are just one example of the incredible, ongoing work our VFW Auxiliary members do year-round—supporting veterans in nursing homes, hospitals, and in their own homes, while honoring their service and ensuring no one feels alone.
Thank you to every Auxiliary member for your unwavering commitment to “Unwavering Support for Uncommon Heroes”!
As the year comes to a close, please consider making a generous year-end donation to support the VFW Auxiliary’s vital programs that help veterans and their families right here in our communities. Your tax-deductible contribution makes a real difference.
Every dollar helps us continue this important work. 💙
To donate, please contact our local VFW Post 6097 at 270-384-3988 or mail a check to Po Box 891 Columbia, KY

🌟 Proud Moments from VFW Post 6097 This Holiday Season 🌟

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the many ways our Post has served our veterans, their families, and our community this year:

🎖️ We proudly provided full military honors at funerals for our fallen brothers and sisters, ensuring they received the respect and dignity they earned.

🎁 Thanks to the generous toy donations from Dollar Tree, we were able to bring smiles to children in need this Christmas.

🍎 We delivered Christmas fruit baskets to homebound veterans and those residing in our local nursing home – a small gesture to let them know they are never forgotten.

🤝 We’ve continued our free service helping 25 veterans navigate and secure the benefits they’ve rightfully earned.

🍽️ On Veterans Day, we hosted a free community meal to honor all who served.
None of this would be possible without the incredible support from our members, auxiliary, and Lindsey Wilson University. From the bottom of our hearts – THANK YOU!

As we head into the new year, we humbly ask for your help. A year-end donation to VFW Post 6097 will allow us to continue these vital programs and support even more veterans in 2026.

Every dollar makes a difference. Please consider giving today.

🇺🇸 Thank you for standing with us as we stand for our veterans. 💪
