VMS Chairman Profile Form

We have a 20/20 Vision for Veterans. I hope you took advantage of all the incredibly amazing content our VFW HQs published during the #StillServing campaign as we transitioned into the next year as our Commander in Chief Hal Roesch took command. If you have not read our Commander-in-Chief's General Order #2- I would strongly encourage. Times are changing and your VMS programs are one tool you should be using and encouraging our posts to lead the fight. Times are challenging, we know. If you need any help our VMS staff is there to help figure out how we can best support and ensure your success. There is no dumb idea. Time is now to chart the way forward. As we start all the training sessions please ensure you get time to give our leaders overviews of how our VMS programs are so impactful.


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.
