20 Years at the Pulse of Innovation: MagnaCon 2026 Returns as a Leading Voice in Wellness

Veterans to lead service projects around the world; all veterans invited to participate
The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is proud to announce the fifth annual VFW Day of Service &mdash; a dedicated day of service led by veterans throughout the country and the world &mdash; will kick off the first Saturday in May (May 2), marking the start of veteran-led community service projects to take place throughout the month. Last year, more than 2,300 events were held worldwide, and this year is on track to exceed that total.
&ldquo;For the past four years, thousands of VFW members and veterans around the world have joined together through VFW Day of Service to continue a legacy of service beyond the uniform,&rdquo; said VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore. &ldquo;Their dedication to strengthening communities, helping neighbors and bringing people together reflects the very best of who we are. We are proud to see Day of Service 2026 build on that momentum and create an even greater impact in communities around the world.&rdquo;
VFW Day of Service began in 2022 as an outgrowth of the organization&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.todaysvfw.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Still Serving</a>
campaign that highlights the ongoing dedication of veterans and service members who continue to uplift and improve their communities after their military service has ended. This year&rsquo;s VFW Day of Service is sponsored by Humana, USAA, CenterWell and loanDepot.
Veterans are more likely to volunteer in their communities than their civilian counterparts, according to a recent civic health survey1 of veterans. The study also found that veterans donate to charities, register to vote and remain more actively engaged in civic and community life than civilians. 
The VFW is calling on all veterans across America and around the world to join in the VFW Day of Service to show that veterans never stop serving.

VFW Announces Fifth Annual Day of Service

Veterans to lead service projects around the world; all veterans invited to participate...

Every spring I get calls from Shelbyville homeowners who just lost a big limb during a storm. A lot of those calls involve the same tree: the Bradford pear. It blooms white and full in March, looks great for a few years, then starts tearing itself apart.
I don't think most people realize what they're dealing with when they have one of these in their yard.

<h2>Why Bradford Pears Keep Splitting?</h2>
The Bradford pear grows fast. That's part of the appeal. But fast growth means the wood stays weak, and the branch structure is the real problem.
The branches on a Bradford pear grow at tight angles up from the trunk, nearly vertical. That means when the tree fills out and those branches get heavy, there's very little holding them on. An ice storm, a good summer windstorm down in Shelby County, and the tree splits right down the middle.
I've seen them come apart with no storm at all, just the weight of themselves over time.

<h2>The Other Problem Most Homeowners Don't Know About</h2>
Even if your Bradford pear never splits, it's spreading. The tree's offspring, the Callery pear, cross-pollinates and the seeds move through the neighborhood by birds. You end up with wild Callery pear seedlings popping up in fence rows and field edges all over the county.
Kentucky has been working on this for years. The University of Kentucky has even run exchange programs where property owners who remove their Bradford pears can get free native replacement trees. That's how significant the problem has become across the state.
Homeowners in Shelby County who want to understand what removal of a tree like this involves can <a href="https://tinostreeservice.com/tree-service-shelbyville-ky/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">find out more here</a> before deciding on next steps.

<h2>What to Plant Instead?</h2>
This is the question I get asked most when someone decides the Bradford pear has to go. A few trees that do well in this part of Kentucky and don't come with the same baggage:
<ul>
<li>Eastern redbud: native, smaller, puts on a better spring show than most people expect</li>
<li>Sugar maple: takes longer to establish but holds up to Shelby County winters and looks good in fall</li>
<li>Bur oak: slower growing, but genuinely long-lived and structurally sound</li>
<li>Serviceberry: native, works well in smaller yards, birds love it</li>
</ul>
The goal is to match the tree to the space. A Bradford pear was probably planted because it grew fast and looked nice. The replacement should be something that actually fits where it's going.

<h2>One Thing Worth Doing Before You Remove</h2>
If the tree is still standing and hasn't split yet, take a look at the branch structure. If you see multiple large limbs all originating from the same spot on the trunk, that union is under stress every time the wind picks up.
A tree in that condition isn't going to improve on its own. Getting it down while it's still manageable is easier and safer than dealing with a half-fallen tree across a driveway or fence line.
