If you are a U.S. citizen or national who served honorably overseas in a conflict or expedition — or in other qualifying service — you may be eligible to join the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The entrance — walk-ins welcome. Come in and ask any officer about membership.
VFW Membership
For eligible veterans of overseas service. Bring proof of service (such as a DD-214) and ask any officer — we'll walk you through it. Dues can be dropped off at the Post.
VFW Auxiliary
Family members of eligible veterans serve through Auxiliary 6658 — the crew behind the Chili Cook-Off, much of the Crab Feed, and the Veterans Fund.
Meetings
Refreshments 5:30 · Meetings 6:30
Membership meetings follow a steady rhythm — winter meetings (October–April) at the Post on the square, summer meetings (May–September) out at Kump's Dam Park. The Men's Auxiliary meets the first Wednesday — meal 6:15 PM, meeting 7:00 PM.
Confirm the current month's schedule on Facebook or at 301-447-6141.
