Vietnam Social March 15

Mark your calendars! We’re planning our annual Vietnam Veterans Recognition Social for March 15. Commander Teeter would like this to be a team effort. Sign up to volunteer here!

Recognizing and celebrating the service of our comrades is one of our main missions and since Vietnam Veterans have served as the backbone of the VFW for many years now, we owe them a proper Welcome Home! Everyone is welcome to attend and please RSVP at vfwseattle@gmail.com.

Veterans Day Recap

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Veterans Day Open House. We had an amazing turnout and it was incredible to see our community come together to honor our veterans. Special thanks to World War II veteran and Post 3063 member Clarence Rankins Jr., Councilmember Dan Strauss, and Maj. Gen. Jimmy Collins for helping make the day even more memorable. We’re also grateful for the support of the Washington National Guard‘s 181st Brigade Support Battalion, King County Veterans Program, Troops 100 & 8100 Seattle, and all our friends, family, and neighbors. Your presence made this day truly unforgettable. Special shoutout to our volunteers who made the event so successful, from the burger burn to clean-up.

Presidential Volunteer Service Award Presented to Scouts

Congratulations to these scouts from Ballard’s Troops 100 & 8100 Seattle who recently received the President’s Volunteer Service Award at their Court of Honor ceremony. VFW Post 3063 is honored to be their certifying organization for the prestigious PVSA. This award, created by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, recognizes individuals and groups who have dedicated significant time to volunteer service in their communities.

These hard charging scouts dedicated hundreds of hours of service to their community; job well done!
