The purpose of this corporation shall be
fraternal, patriotic, historical,charitable and educational; To preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; To
assist worthy comrades; To perpetuate the memory and history of our dead and to assist their widows and orphans; To maintain
true allegiance to the Government of the United States of America and fidelity to its Constitution and laws; To foster
true patriotism; To maintain and extend the institutions of American Freedom and to preserve and defend the United States
from all her enemies, whomsoever.
There is a
common bond that exists between those who have shared the military experience and that bond is even greater among those in
combat. There is a shared sense of duty and common belief in a cause higher than oneself. Today's veterans choose
to serve and by doing so, assume all risk associated with preserving freedom at home and abroad. VFW members understand
the true essence of America and the ideals of democracy for all. There is a sign in our Post "Don't mind what
it cost to be a member, remember what it cost to be eligible".
