OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. --

If you’ve driven through the Kenney Gate recently, you may have noticed construction equipment working on the hillside below the Tuskegee Hall dormitory. This is all part of an $18.8 million project that will add a new dormitory for Offutt Airmen.

"The new dorm will incorporate all of the latest features and will support our Airmen for decades to come,” said 55th Wing Command Chief Master Sgt. Michael Morris. "Improving the quality of life of our Airmen who play a critical role in our ability to ‘Fly Fight and Win’ will always be a top priority in this wing.”

The dormitory was designed using the new Dorms4Airmen standard and will include 30 modular living units. Each module will have four bedrooms with walk-in closets, an exterior window and private bathrooms. The modules will also have a shared living room area between the bedrooms with a kitchen and laundry appliances.

Member News - VFW Post 2704 would like to congratulate Mary Carlson. At the April meeting it was announced that Mary was selected by the Post for the 2026 Edward G. Reyes Semper Fidelis Award. Congratulations Mary.

 

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.
