Auxiliary Post 5077 conducted an Agent Orange Awareness Candle Ceremony at our meeting on 08/11/26. A brief description about Agent Orange was given and each attendee received an orange candle. Our Chaplain, Lori Petterson, read aloud a solemn prayer. Each candle was placed on the display table to remind those stricken by this horrible toxin. We had four members that told us they lost their husband due to exposure to Agent Orange. They expressed their gratitude for the ceremony.

📚🐛 National Book Lovers Day | August 9 🐛📚

Today is the perfect day to celebrate the magic that happens when a child opens a book! Through the VFW Auxiliary Youth Activities Program, we can encourage young people to read, dream, learn, and grow while also teaching the values of patriotism, service, and respect for our Veterans. 🇺🇸

One fun way to do that? Create or support a patriotic lending library! ❤️🤍💙 Fill it with books children can borrow, enjoy, return, or share with someone else.

📖 Take a book.
❤️ Share a book.
🌟 Inspire a future.

Today's little bookworms could become tomorrow's volunteers, Auxiliary members, community leaders, and advocates for Veterans.

Building brighter futures—one book at a time! 📚🇺🇸🔥

Attention, Members!

At VFW Auxiliary National Headquarters, we have recently received several emails about incorrect information on Auxiliary websites, social media pages and posters or flyers. These errors are nearly always caused by the use of AI generated content.

Please, when finding or sharing information about the VFW Auxiliary, go straight to the source. Our website includes all necessary public-facing information and details about the Bylaws, Ritual or Programs can be found behind MALTA member login.

In addition, when creating posters or flyers about your Auxiliary fundraisers, events or projects, please keep in mind that using AI-generated content has a tendency to lead to misinformation, fake logos/emblems and incorrect contact information.

Some of the specific issues that have come to us lately include a poster with an AI-generated VFW National Home logo that does not resemble the correct logo, flyers with a fake Auxiliary emblem, incorrect web addresses, outdate contest information (remember, we no longer have the National Anthem singing contest) and an AI chatbot's insistence that people are able to join the VFW Auxiliary under a great-grandparent or uncle (they're not).
