Ace Hardware began shipping flags for the giveaway promotion on May 3. With more than 1 million flags to distribute, Ace is asking we be patient as the current pandemic has caused widespread shipping delays across the nation.

We ask that Posts scheduled to receive flags wait until Tuesday, May 19 to contact us if their shipment still hasn’t arrived by then. At that point, please reach out to Kevin Jamison at kjamison@vfw.org.

Thank you for your help and support of this wonderful program.

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
