Teen from Nebraska in the Running to Win a $30,000 Scholarship from the VFW!

Dear Steven,

It’s incredibly inspiring to hear high school students take pride in America.

Young people all across the nation recorded audio essays on "What Makes America Great” for the Voice of Democracy competition. One winner from each state has been chosen and now qualifies for the grand prize — a $30,000 scholarship!

Listen to the top essays, including the winner from Nebraska.

The grand-prize winner will be announced at the VFW Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. Watch a live stream of the Parade of Winners on March 2, at 6 p.m. (EST) to see who wins. 

Help us celebrate the next generation of proud Americans as they compete for more than $2.1 million total in scholarships and incentives. Please share the audio clips with your family and friends.

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
