Hold on to your hats, folks! The Howard E. Vander Clute Jr. Memorial Motorcycle Ride is rolling into Derby City, aka the Gateway to the South: Louisville, Kentucky! This annual ride honors a much-beloved past VFW national commander and motorcycle enthusiast who passed away in 2000, Howard E. Vander Clute Jr. All proceeds from the ride are donated to the VFW Military and Veterans Support programs to benefit our nation’s service members and their families. Ride on, #VFWRiders! #VFWConvention

We were Uniting to Combat Hunger! Thank you to all who took part in today’s seed sorting event. Seeds will be distributed to VFW Posts and Auxiliaries nationwide to promote community victory gardens to help combat food insecurity. What’s a victory garden? During WWI and WWII, America encouraged its citizens to plant fruits and vegetables in private gardens to supplement rations. Thus, “victory gardens” were born. #VFWConvention Humana Society of St. Andrew VFW Foundation
