Commander’s Corner: Veterans Day 2024 Edition

Comrades,

As we approach Veterans Day, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this time of year. It’s not just a day for remembering—it’s a time to reconnect with the values that define us: service, sacrifice, and camaraderie. These values are at the heart of everything we do here at VFW Post 3063.

On Nov. 11 starting at 9 a.m., we will be hosting our Veterans Day Open House. This event is more than just a community gathering—it’s a chance for us to come together as a post, to honor our shared experiences, and to welcome others into our fold. Whether through displaying artifacts, sharing stories, or simply being present, every one of us has something valuable to contribute. We also need volunteers! Please see this sign up for available slots.

I encourage all of you to take part, not just in this event, but in the life of our post. As members we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. Together we have the power to create lasting connections, support each other, and ensure the legacy of our service lives on in our community.

Let’s make this Veterans Day a true celebration of who we are and what we stand for. I look forward to seeing you there.

In comradeship,
Aly Teeter, Commander

Post Fundraiser Recap

A massive shoutout to everyone who brought their best to the Saints N’ Sinners Ball Oct. 26! From heavenly angels to devious devils, their creativity stole the show! Big props to Past Commander Joe Tiffany, his friend – Grims and his fabulous crew, Aly, Joseph, Gabe, and H2 from Post 3063, and everyone who made this night unforgettable. The bands — Wicked World, The Kings, and Left Turn on Blue — rocked the house and kept our spirits high! We’re still tallying up the total raised for the Post 3063 Veterans Relief and Scholarship Fund, but the success was clear in the smiles and laughter shared. Thank you, community, for your incredible support. Stay tuned for the final results, and enjoy these snapshots from a night we’ll always remember!
