🇺🇸 Happy 251st Birthday, United States Army! 🇺🇸

Tomorrow, the VFW Auxiliary Post 8905 proudly joins our nation in celebrating the birth of the United States Army, established on June 14, 1775.

For more than two and a half centuries, Army Soldiers have answered the call to serve, defending our freedoms and protecting our nation with courage, honor, and selfless dedication. From the Revolutionary War to present-day missions around the world, generations of Soldiers have stood ready to preserve the ideals upon which our country was founded.

To all who have worn the Army uniform—past and present—we extend our deepest gratitude for your service, sacrifice, and commitment to our great nation.

Thank you, Soldiers, for your unwavering devotion to duty. We honor your legacy and celebrate your contributions today and every day.

🎂 Happy Birthday, U.S. Army!
🇺🇸 Army Strong! 🇺🇸

Recently, VFW Auxiliary Post 8905 members Trish Maxwell and Janet Davila had the privilege of attending the Heritage Girls Troop TX-1024 Year-End Awards Ceremony. Heritage Girls is a Christ-centered youth organization focused on developing leadership, character, personal growth, and a commitment to community service.

During the ceremony, they were honored to share information about the VFW Auxiliary, its mission, and its dedication to supporting veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. They also presented the history and significance of the Buddy Poppy, including the Buddy Poppy story and poem, explaining how the poppy became a symbol of remembrance and sacrifice for the VFW.

Following the presentation, Buddy Poppies and American flags were distributed to the girls and their families. It was inspiring to witness the enthusiasm, patriotism, and appreciation shown by these young leaders and their loved ones.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with an organization that shares our values of service, leadership, and community involvement. Thank you to the Heritage Girls Troop TX-1024 for welcoming us and helping us honor the sacrifices of our nation's veterans.

🇺🇸❤️ Together, we continue to teach the next generation the value of service, sacrifice, and patriotism. 🇺🇸❤️
