SGT Charles R. McCurtain Post 10789
For 230 years, Americans in uniform have set aside their personal aspirations and safety to procure and protect the freedoms established by the Founders of our great nation. Through their service, and, all too often, through their sacrifices, these brave men and women have earned the gratitude and respect of the entire nation.
During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln affirmed our nation's commitment
to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his
orphan. His eloquent words endured from his century to ours, and serve today as
the motto of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the federal agency responsible
for honoring our debt of gratitude to America's patriots.
From the World Wars of the 20th Century to the 21st Century's war on terror, VA
benefits have evolved to meet the changing needs of veterans, because, while
wars have beginnings and ends, caring for those who fought them never ends.
|
Whether you were injured on the home front in peacetime, or wounded overseas in
time of war, you stood up for America in our time of need. Now it's America 's
turn, through the VA, to serve and honor you -- the American veteran.
R. James Nicholson
Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Programs & Services
Direct community involvement
always has been and will continue to be a VFW priority.
The benevolence of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and its Auxiliaries extends well beyond the realm of veterans helping veterans. Annually, VFW and Auxiliaries donate more than 13 million volunteer hours of community service. VFW members are mentoring youth groups, helping in community food kitchens, volunteering in blood drives and visiting hospitalized veterans. Others are helping veterans file compensation claims or are "voicing their vote" with elected officials.
Meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30
PM in the basement of the Veterans Memorial Building
