Ballard Eagleson Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3063
"No One Does More for Veterans"
Father and son team, Greg and Henry Lohman, teach firearm, first aid and emergency preparedness classes at the post. These are very popular classes and we’d like our membership to know that what’s available. A short description of the classes offered are listed below and more information is on their website at FT4RC.com.
Did you know the post hosts a Tai Chi class every Monday at 2:30 pm taught by a Vietnam Veteran? The instructor, Bill Laprade, has a group of dedicated students but none of them are veterans. Bill’s passion is to instruct veterans but may discontinue the class at our location if no veterans decide to join. Shoot an email to Bill at [email protected] if interested!
We’re excited to introduce Brian Rodrigues, our new VA Work-Study Intern at VFW Post 3063. Brian is a Navy veteran currently pursuing a master’s degree in social work. He’s been attending classes at Seattle Central and plans to transfer to the University of Washington this fall.
Brian brings a unique flair to our team, with a passion for both fashion and sports. Don’t be surprised if you see him sporting a different, colorful outfit every time you meet him!
Brian will be in the office to assist our service officer and perform outreach regarding VA benefits on the following days and times: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Through the VA work-study program, veterans who are three-quarter or full-time students in a college degree, vocational, or professional program can “earn while they learn” with a VA work-study allowance. This program allows veterans to gain valuable work experience while continuing their education.
We’re thrilled to have Brian on board and look forward to the energy and expertise he will bring to our post. Please join us in welcoming him!
