VFW Auxiliary

Established in 1914, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Auxiliary set out to serve the veterans of this country and our communities in honor of the sacrifices and commitment of every man and woman who has served in uniform. The VFW Auxiliary is one of the nation’s oldest veterans’ service organizations and our members are the relatives of those who served in a location of foreign conflict.

 

VFW Post 2485 Auxiliary in Angeles City was instituted on May 24, 2022 and has since been working hand-in-hand with VFW Post 2485 in supporting U.S. military veterans, their families and our community.
