WELCOME TO WAKE FOREST MEMORIAL POST 8466

Wake Forest Memorial VFW Post 8466

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group. Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, the Persian Gulf, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.

Next Reading - October 5, 2024

The Vietnam Veterans of America hosts a monthly ceremony at which the names of each of North Carolina's remaining POW/MIAs from the Vietnam era are spoken out loud so they are not forgotten.
