POST 1109 / VETERANS CONNECTION
THE NEXT WATCH / EVERY GENERATION
NO RANK. NO PRESSURE.
NO RANK. NO PRESSURE.
JUST YOUR PEOPLE.
The VFW was founded on camaraderie among veterans who understand what service demands. Post 1109 is exploring new ways to put that mission into action for veterans of every era, their families, and our community.
Program concepts only. No local support-group dates, facilitators or professional partnerships have been confirmed by Post leadership.
SIX WAYS TO RECONNECT
MORE THAN A MEETING. A REASON TO RETURN.
Different interests, one brotherhood and sisterhood. Drop in, take part, or just listen.
AFTER ACTION NIGHT
Casual veteran-to-veteran conversation. Talk about what's on your mind, swap stories, or just be in the room. No one is required to share.
Peer conversation concept — not counselingTHE TRANSITION TABLE
Explore work, education, family adjustment and benefits questions. Connect with VFW programs and, where appropriate, accredited service officers.
Information and referrals — no unaccredited claims representationHOMEFRONT CONNECTION
Potential evenings for military spouses, caregivers, women veterans and families to meet, share resources and shape future activities.
Partner-led groups considered separately; WAD collaboration requires approvalGAME ON. CHECK IN.
Meet a veteran gaming buddy, explore VFW Combat Tested Gaming, and build friendships through play—not only formal meetings.
See the VFW's existing national gaming community belowTHE QUIET WATCH
Space for remembrance, grief and connection—with a qualified community partner for facilitated discussions when appropriate.
