🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from VFW Post 7534 — Duck Creek! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate something truly historic: America’s 250th birthday.

For 250 years, generations of Americans have answered the call to defend our nation, protect our freedoms, and carry forward the ideals that began on July 4, 1776. Independence Day is more than fireworks and cookouts — it’s a reminder of the sacrifice, service, and unity that have shaped this country.

At VFW Post 7534 Duck Creek, we’re proud to continue that spirit of service right here in our community. We support veterans and military families, help connect veterans with benefits and resources, promote youth and patriotic programs, honor those who served, and stay involved in the events that bring our community together.

As you celebrate today, take a moment to remember what this day represents: freedom, sacrifice, responsibility, and the privilege of being part of the American story.

We also want to hear from you! What kind of content would you like to see more of from VFW Post 7534? Veteran benefit information? Community events? Local veteran stories? Patriotic programs? Behind-the-scenes updates from the Post? Drop your ideas in the comments.

From all of us at VFW Post 7534 Duck Creek, have a safe, meaningful, and Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Remembering Operation Red Wings

Today, we pause to honor the 19 American warriors who gave their lives during Operation Red Wings on June 28, 2005, in the mountains of Afghanistan.

We remember the SEALs on the ground:

LT Michael P. Murphy
GM2 Danny P. Dietz
STG2 Matthew G. Axelson

Along with HM2 Marcus Luttrell, they fought through impossible odds, surrounded, outnumbered, and under relentless fire. Murphy, Dietz, and Axelson made the ultimate sacrifice on that mountainside. When the rescue force came for them, 16 more Americans — Navy SEALs and Army Night Stalkers — were killed when their MH-47 Chinook was shot down.

Nineteen men.
Nineteen families forever changed.
Nineteen names that should never fade from our national memory.

Today, VFW Post 7534 remembers:

LT Michael P. Murphy
STG2 Matthew G. Axelson
GM2 Danny P. Dietz
MMC Daniel R. Healy
QM2 James Suh
MM2 Eric S. Patton
CFC Jacques J. Fontan
LCDR Erik S. Kristensen
ET1 Jeffery A. Lucas
LT Michael M. McGreevy Jr.
HM1 Jeffrey S. Taylor
SSG Shamus O. Goare
CW3 Corey J. Goodnature
SGT Kip A. Jacoby
SFC Marcus V. Muralles
MAJ Stephen C. Reich
SFC Michael L. Russell
CW4 Chris J. Scherkenbach
MSG James W. Ponder III

Their courage was not measured by the outcome of the mission, but by their willingness to fight for each other until the very end.

May we say their names.
May we remember their sacrifice.
May we live in a way worthy of the freedom they helped defend.

Never forgotten.
June 28, 2005 — Operation Red Wings
