“Congress should Honor the Contract and strengthen veterans' programs without creating new costs for those who sacrifice in service to our country. A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans; it does not send them the invoice.” - VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore

The VFW strongly opposes the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, rejecting proposed VA disability compensation cuts to tinnitus and sleep apnea ratings.

During our first Friday luncheon at Mission BBQ we were joined by Bob and Jamie Gillette and Wanda Riddle of the Howard County Veterans Foundation. They presented the Post and Auxiliary with a certificate for our contributions towards the Veterans and Military Families Monument, a beautiful painting of the monument, and a book of the artists art. A great time was had by all!
