Post 8790 Celebrates VFW Day of Service 2025

Team spirit and service shine bright at VFW Post 8790's Day of Service at Richard A. Anderson Veterans Home.

Each year, VFW Posts across the country come together for the annual Day of Service, a time to honor veterans by giving back to our communities. For VFW Post 8790, the 2025 Day of Service was nothing short of extraordinary. We had the privilege of partnering with the Richard A. Anderson Veterans Home for a day filled with camaraderie, service, and fun.

Our day began with the mission to enhance the living spaces at the veterans' home. Volunteers worked together to plant vibrant flowers and clean the flower garden, transforming it into a beautiful and serene space for residents to enjoy. After the hard work, it was time to refuel with some delicious tacos. Fathering together veterans, volunteers, and residents shared stories, laughter, and a sense of connection that reminded us all why these moments of service are so meaningful. The afternoon then brought some friendly competition through a volleyball game between Post 8790 members and the staff of the Richard A. Anderson Veterans Home. The vibrant energy, laughter, and camaraderie created lasting memories for everyone involved, making it a highlight of the day. Yet, the most memorable part of the day was the time spent talking with the veterans who call Richard A. Anderson Veterans Home their own. Listening to their stories, experiences, and wisdom was a profound honor. These are the heroes who have played a pivotal role in shaping our nation, and their courage and resilience are not to be overlooked.

VFW Day of Service 2025 was a powerful reminder of what it means to serve - not only in uniform but also in our communities. Being surrounded by such amazing heroes and contributing to their well-being was an unforgettable experience. We are grateful to the Richard A. Anderson Veterans Home for allowing us the opportunity to serve and connect with their incredible residents. To all our volunteers and partners, thank you for making this day so impactful. Together, we are stronger, and together, we honor the legacy of service that defines the VFW.

Here is to another successful Day of Service and many more opportunities to support our veterans and community.
