Six more weeks of winter? An early spring?
Either way, the VFW National Home is here for Veteran and military families through every season. 🦫❄️🌷

Today, we remember the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, which marked the end of direct U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War. For the surviving Vietnam Veterans, it began a long journey home, often without the recognition they deserved. Let us honor their courage, resilience, and brotherhood as we reflect on the human cost of war and our duty to ensure every Veteran is remembered.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day.

January 27, 2026 is the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. This is the "time to remember the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of N**i persecution," writes the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The statement continues, "At the Museum and other commemoration sites, we remember Holocaust victims by reading their names, by lighting candles, and by learning about the Holocaust. All of us can mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day by sharing the truth of the Holocaust and by confronting antisemitism and hate in our daily lives."

More than 16 million Americans fought in World War II; approximately 250,000 lost their lives while serving in Europe. American soldiers liberated hundreds of N**i concentration and internment camps across Europe, including Dachau, Ohrdruf, Mauthausen and Buchenwald.

Today we remember the victims of the Holocaust and join those liberated from Buchenwald in saying, "Never again."

On behalf of the Department of Washington, we extend our heartfelt Christmas greetings to our Comrades, Brothers, Sisters, Supporters, and to every member of the veteran family we are honored to serve.

We also extend warm wishes to those observing other faiths and traditions during this season, honoring the diverse beliefs that strengthen our communities and our shared commitment to service and compassion.

Christmas invites us to pause, gather close, and reflect on what truly binds us together. Across our Posts and communities, that bond is found in fellowship, shared purpose, and a deep respect for service. It is what makes this organization a family.

This season reminds us of the values we live every day: service before self, loyalty to one another, and care for those who have borne the weight of military service. Through your advocacy, volunteer hours, leadership, and quiet acts of kindness, you have made a lasting difference for veterans and families across Washington.

As we look toward the New Year, we do so with steady optimism and purpose. A new year brings fresh opportunities to strengthen our Posts, welcome new members, and reach veterans who may not yet know they have a place here.

We pause to honor those serving in uniform today, especially those spending the holidays far from home. We also hold our Gold Star families close in our thoughts. Your sacrifice is never forgotten, and your VFW family stands beside you.

From our Department leadership team, we wish you peace, warmth, and time well spent with those you love, now and in the year ahead.

For Veterans, By Veterans

Check it Out ! Our VFW AUXILIARY POST 1927, Woodland,Wa. made it all the way to VFW Auxiliary-National Organization

Welcome to our third annual "Show Us Your Santas!" celebration!

We are pleased to announce that we received so many photos from VFW Post and Auxiliary members of their holiday events featuring costumed characters that we are going to be sharing them for FOUR straight days - Tuesday through Friday - a full day longer than last year!

All photos were sent in by members from across the country and beyond its borders featuring holiday parties, children's festivities, fundraisers, Auxiliary meetings, VA visits and community events during which they, or Post members, made appearances as Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, Rudolph, Frosty, elves, clowns, unicorns or other fun figures.

Thank you to all who've participated! We love seeing all you do for our veterans, service members, children, people in need and those in your local communities who could use a bit of holiday cheer.
