Veteran of Foreign War Membership Meeting to be held in Copperopolis
Looking for Vets to start a VFW in Copperopolis
With large numbers of our local youth returning from the Middle East with experiences that only another veteran of war could possibly understand, a VFW Post is a vital to the healing process that those young men will need.
If you are a veteran of a foreign war and would be interested in helping form a VFW post in Copperopolis please attend our next meeting to be held 2:00 p.m. August 15, 2010 at Micki and Larry’s Sports Pub in Copperopolis.
At this meeting we will be answering questions, taking nominations for interim officers, and signing up new members. This is a fledgling group in need of your support and your input.
Not sure if you qualify?
