#VFWPostPride
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (November 19, 2015) – The
VFW is pleased to introduce “VFW Post Pride,” a new platform to
showcase the dedicated support that VFW Posts, Auxiliaries and
their members provide to veterans, service members, military
families and to their communities.
For more than 116 years, VFW Posts have
acted as the pillars of support to local communities worldwide.
From coordinating welcome home celebrations and picnics, to
building playgrounds and organizing clothing drives, VFW members
take great pride in their work and VFW Post Pride will allow
them to share it not only with the entire VFW community, but
with the world.
Participation is simple! Capture a photo or
video during your Post’s next community service project,
activity or troop support event, and share it to social media
using the hashtag #VFWPostPride. Your content will then be
displayed on the VFW national website alongside all other
postings containing #VFWPostPride. See the page at:
www.vfw.org/VFWPostPride.
In addition, VFW national staff will
compile news stories, leads and submissions, also putting them
on display here.
Not only is this a great way to show the
world how the VFW continues to positively impact local
communities, but it will also serve to provide ideas, success
stories and collaboration opportunities to other Posts looking
for ways to get involved or to implement new projects.
If you or your VFW Post are already active
on social media, this is a great opportunity to engage with VFW
members worldwide. For those without a social media account, VFW
Post Pride provides a great incentive to take a step toward
establishing an account and getting involved.
For guidance on establishing a Post,
District or Department presence on social media, log in to the
VFW website, and visit the Media and Public Relations link in
the Training and Support section.
On Behalf of the Virginia Department of Veterans services, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) now issues "Veteran Identification Cards" to veterans as proof of military service (other than dishonorable). If you are a Veteran that does not have an Active Duty or Retired Military ID, and a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia, you may apply for the card. Instructions for application and required submission of your DD-214 or other official paperwork may be found on the DMV website at this link: http://www.dmvnow.com/webdoc/citizen/id/vet_id.asp

If you are a veteran in crisis, help is available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week though the Veterans Crisis Line. Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) and
press “1” to speak to someone now. You can also log on to
www.veteranscrisisline.net
for confidential chat or text a message to 838255.
