VETERANS DAY

November 11 when we celebrate all those who served. Veterans Day should not be confused with Memorial Day—a common misunderstanding. Memorial Day (the fourth Monday in May) honors American service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle, while Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

Program Date Changes

Date changes for VOD/PP/Teachers submissions. Due to the late school start and the number of homeschoolers I have changed the due dates for these awards. VOD/PP entries due to post - November 15th. VOD/PP post winners due to District - November 30th. VOD/PP District winners and Post Teachers winners due to Department December 15th.

Commanders Honors

Pay tribute for four unclaimed Veterans to be interred at Beaufort National Cemetery. More information under News tabs.

BUDDY POPPIES

Among all the flowers that evoke the memories and emotions of war is the red poppy, which became associated with war after the publication of a poem written by Col. John McCrae of Canada. The poem, “In Flander’s Field,” describes blowing red fields among the battleground of the fallen.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.
