🥾 Boots on the ground. Veterans at Heart.🇺🇸

Today, dedicated post members distributed 150+ pairs of boots to homeless veterans during the annual Operation STAND DOWN and at shelters throughout the Omaha metro. Just in time for colder weather!

Thanks to our community’s generosity during our Poppy Drives (May and November), we were able to make this happen!

Special thanks to the Cosmopolitan Diabetes Foundation for funding diabetic socks and Bombas for donating regular socks—together providing over 500 pairs!

This is your generosity in action, Nebraska!

Service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. Neither does our commitment to one another. 🇺🇸

That’s a wrap on the Defenders of Freedom Air & Space Show! 🇺🇸

This weekend, Sarpy County VFW Post 9675 had the opportunity to connect with veterans, military families, and members of our community while sharing what the VFW is all about—service, advocacy, camaraderie, and ensuring that those who served our nation continue to have a voice.

From right here in Sarpy County to communities across Nebraska and throughout the nation, the VFW continues to advocate for veterans, support military families, invest in our communities, and preserve the legacy of service for future generations.

Events like this give us the chance to remind people that the VFW is more than a building or a meeting once a month. We are veterans continuing to serve—just in a different uniform.

And apparently, our message reached a galaxy far, far away. 🌌

Our Commander and Junior Vice Commander even found a new potential recruit. We’re still verifying the Stormtrooper’s eligibility. 😉

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared a story, asked a question, or simply said hello. We’re proud to represent the VFW and the veterans of Sarpy County.

The mission continues.

“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. Vetera...
