Commander-in-Chief Doc Schmitz sends his sincere appreciation to you for your concern for those affected by Hurricane Dorian.

With the hurricane’s potential to impact several states and thousands of veterans, the effects could deplete our existing Disaster Relief Fund. So, we are asking for your help in supplementing our fund to be able to offer the necessary support to areas impacted by Hurricane Dorian. 

The VFW’s Disaster Relief Fund, established several years ago, provides us a broader relief opportunity and allows us to provide immediate relief to those affected states and territories. Departments, Districts and Posts wishing to contribute to the VFW relief efforts needed for those in the path of natural disasters are encouraged to donate to the VFW’s Disaster Relief Fund.

Some have asked if Post Relief Funds can be used to assist with donations … Yes, Section 704 (a) of the Manual of Procedure delineates this point clearly. 

To donate to the VFW Disaster Relief Fund, click here or you may send checks payable to VFW, earmarked "Disaster Relief” to:

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.

 

If you have any Post history, please send it to me at imgrund@cox.net
