Brookfield Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10201 Hosts Membership Drive

From Brookfield Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 10201: Due to low membership, the Brookfield VFW’s charter is at risk of being rescinded. The Post is the only veteran’s organization in Brookfield, and to save the Post, we are eagerly recruiting new members.

The Brookfield VFW is holding a membership drive. The Post is over 40 years old and its mission is to support veterans, active duty military and serve the Brookfield community! It is an essential part of the history and culture of Brookfield. A few of its many accomplishments include sponsoring the town’s Memorial Day Parade, the Veterans Day ceremony at Williams Park and it financed the Park’s Memorial Monument and brick walkway honoring Brookfield Veterans who have served in the Armed Forces. There are multiple other opportunities in which the Brookfield VFW can support our town when appropriately staffed.

We welcome all eligible members! If you would like to join the VFW, you must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. National and have served in the Armed Forces of the United States and received an Honorable or General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge or be currently serving. Members must have served in a war, campaign, or expedition on foreign soil or in hostile waters. This eligibility requirement can be determined through an authorized campaign medal, receipt of Hostile Fire Pay or Imminent Danger Pay, or service in Korea for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. Complete eligibility details can be found in the VFW website here.

If you are eligible, or think you may be, please consider helping the Brookfield VFW maintain its presence and grow in the community. Contact Brookfield VFW Post members Joe Beal 203 , Bob Brown 203 775-4719 or Gene Roberts 203 775-3934 to learn more about the Post, or become a member, by emailing BrookfieldVFW@gmail.com.
