Representative hopeful Duke Buckner is holding a Veteran Meet and Greet on September 5th at 6pm-8pm in Walterboro, SC. Entry is free and food will also be provided. This will give you a chance to meet the candidate and features Medal of Honor recipient Maj Gen James Livingston as the keynote speaker.

I spoke to Duke directly about the Major Richard Star Act and funding our planned State Veterans Nursing Homes. He was receptive and focused while we discussed the legislation. He is making veteran mental health initiatives and PTSG one of his platform issues.

I, like many of you, have had trouble getting in contact with Rep Clyburn when it comes to communicating veterans issues. Please share this with the comrades and auxiliaries if your posts are located there.

I am hoping we, as the VFW, can make a big showing at the event, let our voices be heard, and advocate for our veterans. Remember, nobody does more for our veterans.

Friends of the VFW 8738,

 

As you may be aware, we have comrades in harms way in support of Operation Epic Fury. We are collecting items to fill out care packages to send a little bit of home and support to our warfighters.

 

Please drop off items or donations at the post and remember our mission: To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans. 

 

Thank you for Still Serving!
