Thank you to everyone who came out to play, visit, volunteer, donate prizes, and spend the day with us. Events like this are about more than the competition — they give veterans, families, friends, and members of our community a chance to come together and enjoy each other’s company.

🇺🇸 VFW POST 10043 REPRESENTED IN ITALY 🇺🇸

VFW Post 10043 members Rockey and Doug recently had the opportunity to join VFW and Auxiliary members from across the country during a visit to the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Nettuno, Italy.

The cemetery is the final resting place of more than 7,800 American service members who gave their lives during World War II, with thousands more remembered on the Walls of the Missing.

During the visit, VFW and Auxiliary national leadership participated in a wreath-laying ceremony honoring the Americans who fought and died during the campaigns in Sicily and Italy.

For Rockey and Doug, it was an opportunity to represent our Post while taking part in the VFW’s enduring mission to remember those who came before us.

We are proud to have members of VFW Post 10043 representing our Post and the LC Valley at such a meaningful place.

We will remember them.
