To all our VFW Post 857 Marine Commarades and our guest organization Marine Corps League Detachment #1435 Pride and Purpose

Today, the U.S. Marine Corps is honored to commemorate its 249th birthday on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024. Established before founding the United States, the Marine Corps proudly stands as the nation's third-oldest military branch. Renowned for their versatility in land, sea, and air operations, Marines are often characterized by their commitment to being "the first in and last out" in various missions.

Semper Fi!

📣Important Update for Veteran ID Card Holders

To help our fellow Veteran ID card holders, the Northeast VA administrator will be available at VFW Post 857 to assist with updating your cards and taking pictures for new ID cards, which will be mailed directly to you. The reason is that all VA ID cards have expired, according to our local VA administration.

This event is scheduled for Monday, November 11, 2024, at 1:00 PM UTC at VFW Post 857.

Please feel free to share this information with your fellow Veterans; the more, the merrier! Thank you for your cooperation and support!
