MEETING TIME

VFW Post 4639 meets the 2nd Monday of each month at our Post Home on Jesters Lane,

which is off Old News Road, behind the Monticello Shopping Center.  Our fellowship and the

Ladies Auxiliary begin at 7:30 PM with the business meeting. We encourage all members to

attend meetings to learn about the VFW, keep informed on local veterans affairs, learn how

we can help our community, and enjoy fellowship. To be a success it takes a team effort.

Please be part of the team and participate!

VFW membership is available to all U.S. service members who have earned an overseas campaign

or expeditionary medal and are currently on active-duty, in the Reserves or who have been honorably

discharged from the U.S. armed forces. Those deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan are eligible for VFW

membership, as well as those who have earned the Air Force Expeditionary Service Ribbon with

Gold Border (AFESR w/GB), the Combat Action Badge (CAB) and the SSBN Nuclear Deterrent

Patrol Breast Insignia. A 1995 VFW Congressional Charter amendment makes eligible all those who

have served 30 consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days on the Korean peninsula or in its

territorial waters from June 30, 1949, until the present. Besides meeting the above requirement,

the service member must be an U.S. citizen. 

WHAT THE VFW IS ABOUT

Patriotic sentiments are given expression through action programs aimed at stimulating love of country and more

meaningful appreciation of our national heritage. Community betterment is the keystone of the total VFW structure.

Working for the good of all citizens, VFW members use this method for putting into action the precepts of the Golden Rule.

The hand of comradeship is offered to members, no matter in what part of the country they may be, by Posts which

are always ready to assist their comrades and families in times of distress. The service to disabled and needy veterans

and their dependents is rendered by the VFW on a nationwide scale by its Veterans Service. Each year this expanding

service gains millions of dollars in benefits for veterans by pressing their claims before the Veterans Administration.

VFW believes veterans are something special - that the fact they were selected by their country and committed to fight

to death if necessary has put them in a special class. Only the best physically, mentally and morally of the nation's

citizens are selected for this commitment. It is only natural that members of this elite group, with a common bond

of experience forged in sacrifice and danger, should band together in an organization that provides them comradeship,

a voice for their aspirations and a tool for their chosen undertakings.

Benefits
