On December 14, Commander Teeter participated in the Wreaths Across America event at Lake View Cemetery and the Garden of Remembrance. She made sure to lay a wreath at our namesake’s grave, which was discovered last year. To see more about the day, watch this news segment on Fox 13.

Post makes yearly charitable donations
In mid-December VFW Post 3063 representatives had the privilege of presenting donations from our Post 3063 Relief Fund to three incredible local veteran nonprofits: Friends of Fisher House Puget Sound, Heroes Cafe, and OARS for Women Vets.
We’re proud to support these organizations, which provide vital resources and services to our veteran community. Collaborating with such dedicated and inspiring groups reminds us of the power of community and the impact we can make when we work together.
Thank you to these organizations for the amazing work you do every day!

MAP Grants help fund Guard events
We were delighted to host the Washington National Guard‘s 181st Brigade Support Battalion Atlas Company for their holiday party during December drill. Food was subsidized thanks to the VFW’s Military Assistance Program (MAP) Grant. We obtained additional MAP Grant funds for the HHC and Charlie Companies’ celebrations as well.
Last year VFW Post 3063 adopted the entire 181 BSB and the VFW’s Adopt-a-Unit Program’s goal is to develop supportive relationships with units before, during and after deployments to help deliver the vast network of resources the VFW has available to the military.
In an effort to provide more support to our Adopted Units and other military members, we’re pleased to offer free annual memberships to those currently serving military members. Please contact [email protected] or go to vfwseattle.org for more details.
