I am so proud to announce our Post was designated as an "All-State" and an "All-American" Post for 2024-2025. Our commitment to Community Service and our recruitment of new members last year were key elements to our success. Service to the community and advocacy for local veterans remain my priorities for the next year. Recruitment is also important. As we add more active members to the Post our ability to pursue these priorities is greatly enhanced.

The Post is strengthening our relationships with local youth organizations: Ozark and Nixa High School JROTC, the Civil Air Patrol, local Scout troops and the ROTC department at Missouri State University.

If you qualify to join the VFW, we would love to have you come to a meeting and check us out. If you are related to a veteran who is or was qualified to join the VFW, please consider joining our Auxiliary.

I excited about the upcoming year!
