Tune in and watch our “Understanding VFW Auxiliary Traditions” video! This video is a guide to help new members learn about our Ritual and the unique things we do at meetings. In this video, you’ll learn about:
• Entering a meeting.
• What the raps of the gavel mean.
• What Parade Rest is.
• How to show proper respect to the Flag, Altar and Bible.
• The proper way to address the President and make a motion.

We hope this guide helps you become more familiar with how our meetings are conducted; this will come naturally as you learn our traditions. As always, if you have further questions about meeting etiquette and protocol, be sure to ask a fellow member who has had years, or even decades, of experience with the Auxiliary.

Retired U.S. Navy Captain E. Royce Williams, 100 years old, received the Medal of Honor today.

During the Korean War, he faced seven enemy aircraft alone, shooting down four Soviet MiGs in one of the longest dogfights in U.S. Navy history.
His mission remained classified for decades.

Tonight, during the State of the Union address, President Trump presented him with our nation’s highest recognition for valor in combat.🇺🇸
