"Americanism is a question of spirit, conviction, and purpose, not of creed or birthplace."                                                                                   - Theodore Roosevelt           

"Buddy" Poppy: Since 1922 the "Buddy" Poppy has been an integral part of  the Veteran Community. As the VFW's official memorial flower, the Poppy represents the blood shed blood shed by American service members. It reiterates the VFW will not forget their sacrifices.    The Poppy movement was inspired by Canadian Army Col. John McCrae's famous poem, "In Flanders Fields"      The proceeds from the distribution of Poppies are used for veterans welfare as well as the well being of their needy dependents and orphans of veterans.

VFW National Home: More than 2.300 children of veterans have been, or are being cared for in the VFW National Home in Eaton Rapids, Michigan.

The VFW is a proud sponsor of local Scouting troops, Sea Cadets.

VFW Post 6298 is directly involved in providing a local Veterans Color Guard, and Honor Guard.
