The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is a nonprofit veteran’s service organization comprised of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, guard and reserve forces. Their mission is to foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military, and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans. For Veteran’s Day, my second-grade class wrote thank you cards for our local veterans. We learned all the branches of the military as well as well known memorials. Students recognized how brave these people are and how their courageous actions have provided safety and freedom to all Americans.
