Last night two past District Commanders and members of the leadership team took a step back from their elections.

We salute and thank them for their service and leadership. Their knowledge and experience will help future leaders of District 16.

I’m honored to host my Third Annual Women Veterans Ceremony at the Capitol on June 10, 2025, to recognize the incredible service of women veterans across Pennsylvania.

I am honored to continue this tradition and to provide a platform where women who have served our country can be recognized. If you were featured last year, simply update your submission.

Last night Pennsylvania VFW District 16 held their district election. Congratulations and Good Luck to all elected especially those with the first time elected.

All but one person is new in their role and 3 members are new to district leadership.

As an organization we must get new blood into leadership to grow this body. Leaders holding seats for 5 plus years are stunting our growth and not leveraging the younger vets coming into our ranks. We do not want your experience and knowledge to leave we just want to propel us for the next generation.
