Service Officer Update

With recent developments in the federal government, including actions from the Department of Government Oversight (DOGE) and reported layoffs affecting VA employees, there is growing concern about potential changes to VA healthcare and benefits.

We want to hear from you. If you notice any delays in care, difficulty accessing services, changes in coverage, or any other impacts on your VA benefits, please let us know. Your feedback will help us advocate for veterans and ensure that no one is left behind.

Please reach out to VFW Post 3063 Service Officer John Hoglund at [email protected] with any concerns or experiences you’ve had. 

FT4RC Classes

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. 

Tai Chi, anyone?

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!
