You may have noticed some recent changes to this Blog - a new title, a new logo, and some new names for our links. These changes reflect the recent historical event to offer membership equality for all military families.
On July 20, 2015, delegates to the VFW’s 116th National Convention in Pittsburgh voted to to extend the same membership opportunity of the Ladies Auxiliary VFW to eligible males. On August 21, John A. Biedrzycki Jr., the National Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, added his official signature to the new congressional charter of the Auxiliary organization. According to a recent press release, “It’s an exciting time to be a member of the Auxiliary,” said VFW Auxiliary National President Francisca Guilford. “Women comprise nearly twenty percent of our nation’s military, and this change allows all spouses, fathers, grandfathers, sons, grandsons. and brothers to serve others in honor of their veteran.”
The Ladies Auxiliary VFW has changed its official name to the VFW Auxiliary. We are now the VFW Auxiliary to Post 5788.
In the near future, this Blog will be migrated to a new URL, reflecting this new membership profile. Accordingly, our e-mail address will also be changed. We will announce the migration when it is completed and will most likely keep both URLs in play for a period of time. Your Webmaster is a volunteer. Just give me a little time to get it done....
We look forward to this exciting time for our Auxiliary, and the furthering of our commitment to this nation’s veterans and military personnel.
