Is this the Postal Service?!? Because the Department President didnt let rain🌧, sleet⛈️, or snow ❄️( and we had all 3 in DC today!)stop her from representing California! After motivational words from National President Lois and a thank you from Commander in Chief Carol Whitmore to the Auxiliary in attendance the Legislative teams hit the hill to discuss the VFW Priority goals with our representatives from California.
If you are not opening your action corps emails 📨and responding we need you to start doing so! Your voice matters to our legislators and our veterans need your help!

Each year since 1989, the nation comes together to remember and honor the members of the Armed Forces who remain missing in action or are prisoners of war. We're responsible for bringing our patriots home and for caring for our military families awaiting word of their loved ones.

We encourage you to attend events in your area to honor the brave men and women who are missing in action, prisoners of war, and the families of those we have yet to bring home. Post photos of your events in the comments to share what your communities are doing to remember.
