One day. Thousands of seed packets. A harvest with incredible potential! 🙌⁠
⁠
Thanks to the dedication of our amazing volunteers, approximately 7,000 tomato seed packets were sorted in a single day—that's about 350,000 seeds! If every seed grows, those plants could produce an estimated 1.75 million pounds of fresh tomatoes to help support VFW and Auxiliary community gardens across the country.⁠

HISTORIC NEWS FOR VFW POST 4107

Today, we are honored to announce that VFW Post 4107 has been designated a 2025-2026 All-American Post by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, earning this prestigious recognition for the first time since the Post was founded in 1946.

This recognition represents the highest level of achievement in membership and All-American program performance within the VFW and is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and teamwork of our entire Post.

With a membership goal of 193, Post 4107 finished the year with an incredible 277 members, achieving 143.52% membership. This accomplishment comes during a year in which our Post faced challenges unlike any experienced in decades, including the loss of our Post home and the transition to temporary meeting locations. Despite those obstacles, our members remained focused on serving veterans and strengthening our organization.

As part of this historic achievement, we proudly recognize:

Jamie Folsom – The first All-American Post Commander.
Jerri Phillips – The first All-American Quartermaster.
Adam Fries – The first All-American Adjutant.

While these individuals provided leadership throughout the year, this recognition belongs to every member of Post 4107. Every membership renewal, every newly recruited member, every volunteer hour, every community event, and every act of service contributed to this success. Your commitment helped make this historic milestone possible.

Post 4107 will be recognized at the 2026 VFW National Convention in Reno, Nevada, as one of the Top 5 Posts in its division, alongside other top-performing Posts from across the nation. The Post's final national ranking within its division will be officially announced during the National Convention.

This achievement reflects what can be accomplished when veterans come together with a shared purpose: to serve veterans, support our community, and ensure that the legacy of the Veterans of Foreign Wars remains strong for generations to come.

For 80 years, generations of comrades built the foundation of this Post. We are honored to carry that legacy forward and to be the team that earned the first All-American designation in Post 4107 history.

Thank you to everyone who helped make history.
