As the VFW District 7 Senior Vice Commander, I would like to personally invite our VFW Department of North Carolina leadership, District 7 officers, Post leadership, and all of our fellow comrades and their families to join us in Harnett County as we gather to honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform.
I am deeply honored and humbled to have been invited by the Harnett County Veterans Council to deliver the keynote address at this year’s Veterans Day ceremony.

As we celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary, this Veterans Day carries special significance. It is an opportunity to reflect on the generations of Americans who have answered the call to serve, the sacrifices made in defense of our freedoms, and the responsibility we share to preserve their legacy.
One of the greatest privileges of serving in the VFW is the camaraderie and lifelong bonds we share as veterans. I can think of no better way to commemorate this important day than standing shoulder to shoulder with my fellow comrades, our families, and the community we proudly serve.
I sincerely hope to see a strong showing of our District 7 VFW family and Department leadership as we come together to honor all who have served.
Please join us for this meaningful occasion. It would be a privilege to have you there!
In Comradeship,
Stephen Gardner
