🏆 Attention Post, District, and Department Commanders!

As we approach the end of the 2025–2026 Membership Year, we are preparing to recognize those who have earned All-American honors. If your Post, District, or Department has met the requirements, please make sure your cap size is on file.

To update your cap size:
✅ Log in to vfw.org
✅ Select "Online Membership System (OMS)" under Membership Quick Links
✅ Under Personal Services, click "Cap Size"
✅ Select your cap size and style, then click Submit

This information is needed to order All-State and All-American caps.

Please remember that reaching 101% membership does not automatically qualify a Post for All-State or All-American recognition. Be sure to review your Department Membership Program and the National Membership Program for complete qualification requirements.

Thank you for your dedication, leadership, and hard work as we continue striving toward our membership goals and finish the year strong!

Membership Monday is evolving—and it’s all about you 🇺🇸

We’re moving from set topics to a roundtable discussion format—creating more space for open conversation, shared ideas, and real-time problem solving.

This puts members at the center, giving Posts and Departments the chance to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other.

Bring your questions, your wins, and your challenges—let’s talk it out together. Your voice matters.

Join us today at 7pm!

Congratulations to the members of Post 660 on being selected as the overall winners of the VFW Open House Sweepstakes.

The post's effort, initiative, and commitment to engaging their community and fellow veterans truly stood out. The success they achieved is a direct reflection of strong leadership and a team that understands the importance of outreach and connection.

As the overall winner, Post 660 will be receiving a recruiting tent, tablecloth, and windsail. These tools are designed to support and enhance continued outreach efforts.

More importantly, their participation helped showcase what an effective Open House can accomplish—bringing veterans through the doors, creating opportunities for connection, and strengthening the VFW at the Post level.

Thank you for your leadership and for setting the standard. We appreciate everything you and your Post are doing to move the mission forward.
