The Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Colorado is deeply saddened by the death of a Lakewood Police agent in the line of duty on November 5. The shooting took place near our Department headquarters in Lakewood, and this loss is deeply felt by our staff and the community we call home.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the agent’s family, friends, and colleagues at the Lakewood Police Department. We are also thinking of the three agents and the bystander who were injured, and we wish each of them a full recovery.

Our Department mourns alongside our Lakewood neighbors. We honor the agent’s service to our community and are grateful to the first responders who came to the aid of those injured.

VFW advocates will be heading to Washington to stand up for veterans’ earned benefits. And you can be part of it!

Join us in D.C., or get ready to make your voice heard from home.

Tell Congress to vote NO on TCAVA because it would reduce VA disability compensation and YES to pass the stand-alone Major Richard Star Act.

🏈 IF THE VFW WERE A FOOTBALL TEAM…

Ever tried explaining what VFW officers do? Grab a football and pull up a chair. 😂

📋 Commander — Head Coach: Keeps everyone focused, calls the game plan, and tries to keep the meeting from going into overtime.

🎯 Senior Vice — Offensive Coordinator: Turns goals into plays that move the Post forward.

⚡ Junior Vice — Special Teams Coordinator: Builds momentum through recruiting, outreach, and getting people off the sidelines.

🏈 Quartermaster — Quarterback: Keeps the financial game moving. Knows an incomplete receipt can ruin a perfectly good play.

💨 Adjutant — Halfback: Takes the handoff and runs with it—minutes, notices, correspondence, and whatever just became “one more thing.”

🛡️ Judge Advocate — Defensive Coordinator: Knows the rulebook. “We’ve always done it that way” won’t get that penalty overturned.

👀 Trustees — Defensive Backs: Watch the financial field, catch discrepancies, and make sure nothing slips past the audit.

💪 Benefits Advisor — Tight End: Blocks obstacles and gives veterans a dependable person to turn to for benefits assistance.

🇺🇸 Officer of the Day / Chief of Staff — Kicker: Helps kick off the meeting and close it properly with a salute to the flag.

🙏 Chaplain — Fullback: Not called on every play, but when you need them, you’re sure glad they’re there.

🩺 Surgeon — Team Doctor: Promotes wellness and connects comrades with health resources—because we want everyone ready for the next game!

🙌 Members — Lines and Receivers: Make the blocks, make the stops, and catch the passes. Without you, the playbook is just paper.

Our scoreboard? Veterans helped. Families supported. Communities strengthened.

Every position matters. Suit up and get involved! 🇺🇸
