From our national HQ website:
The VFW is pleased to announce it has now provided more than three million free phone calls between deployed service members and their families back home in the United States, courtesy of VFW Operation Uplinkâ„¢ “Free Call Daysâ€.
This is a fantastic program and has made a difference to our soldiers serving overseas. VFW Operation Uplinkâ„¢ was launched in 1996 to connect active-duty troops and hospitalized veterans with their loved ones. The program uses contributions from supporters to purchase phone time for the men and women who are serving — or have served — this great nation, as well as hospitalized veterans.
To find out more information about Operation Uplink, check out their website.
We’ve got a number of events coming up that are worth noting. First, the Entertainment Committee has put together another rocking night out at the pavilion, this time featuring the hopping tunes of the Beach Boys! Check out the calendar for more details!
In August, we’ll be having another Chicken BBQ and hosting a busload of veterans from the Coatesville VA Hospital for a free chicken dinner and bingo. Details for that area also on the calendar!

The front of the Margarita line, that is! Here are some of the pictures from the Margaritaville night at the post. A great time was had by all, and it is a certainty the entertainment committee will be drawing up plans for more Margaritaville nights!
