A Year of Progress and New Beginnings
I would like to begin by extending my heartfelt thanks to all of our Post members and Auxiliary at VFW 5968 of Orange Park. Last year presented its challenges, but as we move through 2025, we’ve overcome various obstacles, and both our guests and members are thriving. We’ve also had the pleasure of welcoming some new transfers, which is truly exciting!
If you haven’t had the chance to visit our Post yet, we warmly invite you to stop by. We are always here to serve you and care for our fellow veterans. If you're not yet a member and are interested in joining our VFW family, simply bring a copy of your DD214, and if you qualify, we can assist you in becoming a part of our Post.
We look forward to meeting more new members and continuing our strong community bond. Take care!
