Thank you Tim & Terry from Mt. Pleasant VFW Post 3303 for building recycling boxes for our Post. Our storage room is neat & organized and Club Manager Ellen is happy for the upgrade. Sorting returnables will be a breeze now. Thank you!

Family, Farm & Home in Alma, Michigan recently held a "Buy One/Give One" promotion to collect snacks for Active Duty Military personnel stationed overseas. VFW Post 1454's Auxiliary offered their assistance by volunteering to pack & ship the treats collected overseas. It was an awesome surprise to receive photos back from our Troops stationed in Kuwait.

Our Post & Auxiliary is dedicated to serving our Veterans, Active Duty Military & our community. There are many ways YOU can be involved! Join us for a monthly meal or one of our many events - Public Welcome! Stop by the Post to meet our Members or visit our Facebook page. Volunteer opportunities are available for Post & Auxiliary Members and non-members alike.

VFW Post 1454 is "Springing Into Action" serving our Veterans, Active Duty Military, and our community. We have a busy Spring/Summer season planned with many volunteer opportunities for Members & non-members alike. Each donation and act of volunteerism helps us advance our cause but it's your ACTIVE PARTICIPATION that enables us to meet & exceed our goals. We're calling all readers of this post to "Spring Into Action!" Visit the Post, attend Post events and join us for a monthly meal. Public Welcome!

VFW Post 1454 Members volunteered their services to Project Paws to help pack snack bags for local children & families in need of supplemental nutrition. Alma Public Schools, Project Paws & the Gratiot County Community Foundation work together to offer these bags to children free of charge! Our Post was pleased to lend a helping hand to this worthy cause.

VFW Post 1454 donated 7 cots to Gratiot County Hope House in St. Louis, Michigan. Founded in May of 2018, Hope House is a transitional & crisis housing center dedicated to meeting the temporary housing needs of the roughly 600 homeless in our county. For more info on the Gratiot County Hope House, visit their website or Facebook page.

The Alma Family Farm & Home store is currently offering a buy-one/donate-one snack promotion. For each snack purchased, Family Farm & Home will donate an additional snack to our Active-Duty Military personnel. VFW Post 1454 will assist by shipping these items to our troops stationed overseas. Please stop by the Alma Family Farm & Home to purchase your snacks and be sure to thank them for their continued support of our Military & local Veterans!

Please join us in congratulating VFW Post 1454 Member Jeff Humphrey. Jeff was recently honored by Alma Elks Lodge #1400 as their 2018 Veteran of the Year. A well deserved honor, indeed. Watch Jeff's acceptance speech below.

Members of our Post are well aware of Jeff's hard work & dedication to our Veterans and to our Post but Jeff's work on behalf of Veterans doesn't end there. Jeff is also a Member of the Alma Elks Lodge and volunteers his time with Veterans organizations in Florida throughout the winter months.

Jeff, and his wife Kathy, are both dedicated advocates for our Veterans and wonderful assets to our Post. Jeff is a member of our Post's Honor Guard. He is responsible for coordinating our Post's Wreaths Across America participation and the annual golf outing which raises funds to purchase those wreaths.

Jeff spearheaded the recent "home improvement" projects to our Post including painting & new signage on the exterior of our building.  His efforts certainly made our Post's exterior more inviting but it's the work he does within that keeps people coming back for more. Burrito nights, Pizza & Horse Racing parties are just a few of the fun events Jeff created to gather our Members together.

Jeff & Kathy volunteer their time, services & efforts at every possible event. Whether it's marching in a parade, cooking for an event or making pasties, they are always there to lend a hand & make our work FUN!

We are so proud of Jeff for the work he does for our Veterans and our Post. He truly is an inspiration to others. Thank you Jeff Humphrey for your service to our Country and your continued service to your fellow Veterans!

Our thanks to Pat & Mike Brennan at Pat's Auto, Inc. for painting the VFW letters displayed on our building. Special thanks to Doug Yost for the military emblems that decorate the front of our Post and to Rebel Metal. The new paint & signage really make our Post look sharp! Thank you Jeff Humphrey for spearheading these Post improvement projects and thank you to Gari Baracy & Fred "Frits" Fales - aka the install crew.
