Join us Saturday, November 7th for the Tama-Toledo VFW Turkey Shoot & Live Auction!

The Turkey Shoot is more than just an afternoon of dice, auctions, and a little friendly competition. It’s one of the ways William Kvidera VFW Post 6607 raises money to continue serving veterans, active-duty service members, their families, and our local community.

Funds raised help us assist veterans and military families in times of need, support deployed service members, provide Honor Guard services for veteran funerals and Memorial Day observances, participate in community and patriotic events, support local youth and organizations, and help with programs benefiting residents of the Iowa Veterans Home.

When you come out, roll the dice, bid in the auction, or donate an item, you’re helping us put those dollars right back into service.

Saturday, November 7, 2026
Tama VFW
Dice Rolling starts at 3:30 PM
Auction starts at 6:00 PM

Come have some fun, bring your friends, and help us continue taking care of those who served and the community we call home.

Veterans helping veterans. Veterans serving our community.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the William Kvidera VFW Post 6607 for our first Friday Night Fish Fry of the season!

Even with the soggy weather, you showed up, filled the tables, and helped us get the season off to a great start. We truly appreciate everyone who stopped in for a meal and supported our Veterans.

We also want to thank all of our volunteers who gave their time to prep, cook, serve, clean up, and keep everything running smoothly. These Fish Fries simply wouldn’t happen without you.

And thank you to everyone who donated food, supplies, money, or anything else that helped make the night a success. Every contribution makes a difference.

We appreciate the support and look forward to seeing everyone again in October at our next Friday Night Fish Fry!

We are proud to welcome MSGT Josh Steinback to the Tama-Toledo Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6607.

Josh was able to spend this weekend back home with family and friends, and we were honored to have the opportunity to officially welcome him into our Post.

MSGT Steinback is recovering from injuries he sustained while on duty in Kuwait and will soon return to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for continued treatment and recovery.

Josh, you have a whole community behind you, and now you have another group of brothers and sisters standing with you at VFW Post 6607. We’re proud to have you as one of our own.

Welcome home, Josh — and welcome to Post 6607. We’ll be pulling for you every step of the way.

Thank you to the STC Music Boosters for allowing us to contribute to the success of the 2026 STC Marching Band season!

If anyone understands spending hours marching under a hot summer sun, it's the veterans of the Tama American Legion and Tama-Toledo VFW. Different uniforms, different missions—but the same advice: drink plenty of water!

We wish the entire STC Marching Band the very best this season. Work hard, take care of one another, stay hydrated...and if all else fails, try a little more cowbell. We can't wait to see you on the field this fall!

And while we failed in our mission to get a group photo, we do want to thank the students, staff, and boosters for making quick work of getting all that water hauled into the storage room. Here's a photo of Matt standing guard over the supplies until the reinforcements arrived. 😉

Every veteran deserves the opportunity to see the memorials built in honor of their service and sacrifice.

The Eastern Iowa Honor Flight provides veterans with a free trip to Washington, D.C., to visit our nation’s military monuments and memorials. Veterans from every branch are encouraged to apply—including those who served during wartime or peacetime, overseas or stateside. You did not have to serve in combat to qualify.

Priority is given to World War II, Korean War and Vietnam veterans, along with veterans facing advanced health concerns, but all veterans are eligible. There is a waiting list, so don’t put it off. Apply today and let the Eastern Iowa Honor Flight give you the welcome and recognition you have earned.

Learn more and complete the veteran application at:

The flight is completely free for veterans.

I'm not saying summer is half over... but the new 2026–2027 Friday Night Fish Fry magnets are here, and the first fish fry of the season is right around the corner!

The new magnets are now available at both the Tama American Legion and the Tama-Toledo VFW. Stop in and pick one up while you're there.

Stick it on your refrigerator, toolbox, or anywhere you'll see it so you never have to wonder, "Is it Fish Fry Friday?"

The magnet includes the complete 2026–2027 schedule:
• Tama American Legion – Second Friday of each month at 5:00 PM
• Tama-Toledo VFW – Fourth Friday of each month at 5:00 PM (November and December dates adjusted for the holidays.)

They're free while supplies last, so grab one for yourself and an extra for a friend or neighbor.

We'll see you at the Tama-Toledo VFW on on Friday, September 25, as we kick off another great season of Friday Night Fish Fries!
