One of our local VFW supporters has a big surplus of snap beans as well as a desire to raise some money for the Honor Flight program. So while supplies last, you can get a quart sized ziploc full of beans for a $5 donation at the post. Get them before they are gone!

🚨 Action Alert: Momentum matters. Congress should not correct one injustice by creating a new one for future veterans. A delayed vote is NOT the finish line. Keep making your voice heard.

Take action TODAY and tell your Representative and both Senators to oppose Section 108 of the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. Urge them to reject this unprecedented pay-for and protect veterans' earned disability compensation.

Our thought and prayers to their families.

“For more than 125 years, the VFW has been a fearless advocate for veterans, speaking plainly when elected officials propose policies that threaten the benefits generations of service members have earned through sacrifice. Our opposition to Section 108 reflects that longstanding commitment. Veterans’ benefits are not funding sources or bargaining chips for Congress while they scrounge to score political points.” - VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore https://www.vfw.org/media-and-events/latest-releases/archives/2026/7/vfw-defends-longstanding-tradition-of-political-satire-while-opposing-cuts

🚨Action Alert

Today’s vote on the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act didn’t move forward, but the stakes for veterans remain.

Continue contacting members of Congress and tell them to back off veterans’ earned benefits and Honor the Contract: https://votervoice.net/VFW/Campaigns/138035/Respond

Congress is trying to CUT benefits to Veterans. Call your member of congress and tell them no.

🚨 Action Alert

They said they wouldn't cut veterans' benefits.

The Take Care of America's Veterans Act does exactly that.

$57 billion. 1.5 million veterans. Tinnitus. Sleep apnea. Conditions earned in combat. Stripped from future veterans to pay for other veterans' benefits.

VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore: "A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans; it does not send them the invoice."

This community has a code. We don't eat our own.
