Our Post is located at the Historic Log Cabin, 180 Glynn Street South, Fayetteville, GA 30214. We share the building with the American Legion, Post 105.

 

Please stop by and join us at the Log Cabin on every 3rd Tuesday evening of the month, between 6:45 pm to 8:00 pm.  VFW Post 3650 was named after Mrs. Helen K. Denton the one keeper of the biggest secret. She is the woman who typed General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s final orders authorizing the June 6, 1944, D-Day Normandy invasion in World War II.  Learn more about Helen K. Denton here.

 

The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans' pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves.

In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. By 1915, membership grew to 5,000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000. 

Since then, the VFW's voice had been instrumental in establishing the Veterans Administration, creating a GI bill for the 20th century, the development of the national cemetery system and the fight for compensation for Vietnam vets exposed to Agent Orange and for veterans diagnosed with Gulf War Syndrome. In 2008, VFW won a long-fought victory with the passing of a GI Bill for the 21st Century, giving expanded educational benefits to America's active-duty service members, and members of the Guard and Reserves, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The VFW also has fought for improving VA medical centers services for women veterans.

Besides helping fund the creation of the Vietnam, Korean War, World War II and Women in Military Service memorials, the VFW in 2005 became the first veterans' organization to contribute to building the new Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial, which opened in November 2010.

Annually, the nearly 2 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliaries contribute more than 8.6 million hours of volunteerism in the community, including participation in Make A Difference Day and National Volunteer Week. 

From providing over $3 million in college scholarships and savings bonds to students every year, to encouraging elevation of the Department of Veterans Affairs to the president's cabinet, the VFW is there.

Greetings Comrades,

As we go from day to day, let’s keep in mind that whether we are a cook on a ship off the Florida coast, or a truck driver in Iraq, we are all veterans. Just because we are not called on to fight, we still take the same oath, train the same but are called on for different directions in our life. Always show the respect deserved for the support service individuals as we are but one. Remember those that gave that ultimate payment of their life for others of us to survive. We all pray to the Supreme Being that there be no more wars or dying.

Also, always support and help the families of our fallen. God Bless and keep safe.

Thanks To Everyone for making VFW Post 3650 the great post that it is.  

The hard work our members do is what makes Our Post Great!!!!
