Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. 22 Veterans are lost each day to suicide. If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

As a defender of freedom, we want to welcome you into our ranks to become part of our elite group.

WELCOME TO BATAVIA OVERSEAS POST

Teamwork ~ Leadership ~ Commitment
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we welcome today's military service members and their families into our ranks to become part of our VFW and Auxiliary community. 
 
Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism, or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns and the support of the Veteran.  The Veteran's sacrifices have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.

 

DONATE TO THE VFW

Our programs support our service members while they are on the front line, as they are being discharged and long after they return. Your tax-deductible donation will be immediately directed to the VFW programs where your support is most urgently needed.
