Team VMS:

Thank you from the bottom our hearts for what you do daily. We must start this year off aggressively. Many of you have upcoming Schools of Instruction, so take that opportunity to brag about what our programs do. Remind them that the new
All-American criteria has changed to $100 for Posts. If you ever need anything, please pick up the phone or shoot us a note.  
Lastly, wanted to share that our VFW riders did an incredible job raising $42,000 during the Howard Vander Clute ride at convention.
The top Department was the Department of Virginia with $19,000.  
Keep the hammer down and "Dare to Care!!"

Yours in Comradeship,

Lynn W. Rolf, III

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.
