Tribute to the Fallen.

- 4/5/2018

 

The UNO Student Veteran Organization is humbly requesting volunteer assistance from your organization for our Tribute to the Fallen.

Tribute to the Fallen is a week where the University of Nebraska at Omaha will honor members of the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice since September 11, 2001. We are honoring these veterans by placing a memorial flag into the ground as well as a continual reading of their name. We would love for your organization to come volunteer with us fromApril 15th through April 20th 2018. We will need assistance in placing and removing almost 7000 flags and also reading of the names of our fallen brothers and sisters in arms. Below is a link to signup for theaforementioned as well as a few pictures from last year's Tribute to the Fallen week. Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the event. Also please feel free to disseminate this email.

Member News - VFW Post 2704 would like to congratulate Larry Gerlt. At the December Awards Banquet it was announced that Larry was selected by the Post for the 2020 Edward G. Reyes Semper Fidelis Award. Congratulations Larry.

 
Annual Members - If you haven't already renewed your membership, please do. Every year our Post spends hundreds of man-hours on membership renewals. It's important to our Post and the entire VFW organization. That said, time is precious, and the hours spent on membership renewal takes away from hours that could be spent on other service projects helping Veterans in the Omaha area.  Thank you.
 
Our Post History - I'm trying to gather information on our Post history, I've been a member for several years, I know we are the Deml-Kopietz Post but I was never told why.
