On February 23, 1945, U.S. Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, symbolizing victory and resilience for American forces at Iwo Jima and numerous other battles/campaigns throughout the Pacific in WW2. VFW Post 5140 remembers and honors the courage and sacrifice of our Marines both past and present. 🇺🇸

So, what do you see when you look at this picture? You would be partially correct if you said an older gentleman who was once a member of VFW Post 5140 in Florence.

But, if you look deeper, you see a young rifleman… Wm. T. Lawson who served with the 25th Infantry Division’s 27th Infantry Regiment “Wolfhounds” in the Pacific Theater in WW2 fighting in the jungles and sand against the Japanese at both Guadalcanal and in the Philippines. We are honored and proud to carry on the legacy of women and men like Mr. Lawson. At VFW Post 5140, we honor the past and work hard to serve our local veterans. Come join us! The Veterans of Foreign Wars, No one does more for Veterans! 🇺🇸
