Today we honor the strength, bravery, and sacrifice of our service members stationed across the globe, along with the resilient families who support them from the home front.
As members of the VFW Auxiliary, we know that deployment affects the entire family. Today and every day, we stand by our heroes and pledge to never forget their service.
If you have a loved one currently deployed, please drop a 💙 in the comments or share a photo so we can honor them today!
