    Korea-Taiwan 2019

    MEMORANDUM TO: National Officers, National Council of Administration, Department Commanders, Department Senior Vice Commanders, Department Junior Vice Commanders, Department Adjutants, and Past Commanders-in-Chief FROM: B.J. Lawrence, Commander-in-Chief DATE: July 9, 2019 RE: 2019 Trip Report to Guam, Philippines, Taiwan and Korea Overview I departed for the Indo-Pacific on April 12, 2019, to visit U.S. service members, veterans and VFW comrades stationed or residing in Guam, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, as well as our colleagues in the Republic of China on Taiwan. I was accompanied by VFW Director of National Security and Foreign Affairs John Towles. We returned to CONUS April 28, 2019. As a former soldier who spent the majority of my service on the Korean peninsula, I have remained acutely aware of the current geopolitical situation in the region and the impact it has had on everything from the basing of U.S. troops to the continued search for more than 7,700 Americans who remain missing and unaccounted-for from the Korean War and the Cold War. Some 5,300 of our missing are believed to be inside the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. As a result, I felt it was imperative to personally visit some of the primary military installations in the country, to include Camp Humphries, the Joint Security Area, the United Nations Command Korea Headquarters, and to speak directly to service members who are protecting the sovereignty of our allies and U.S. interests. Doing so also allowed me to gain an appreciation for what areas that we as an organization need to focus on in terms of defense spending, quality of life, and readiness issues.

A time to celebrate the freedoms guaranteed to all Americans by those who have fallen in battle. A time to reflect and commemorate the service of those service members who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives while defending the values and ideals of the United States. Without their brave and valiant service, and the shared sacrifices of their families and loved ones, America and the world would be a different place today. While COVID-19 continues to impact our ability to gather and pay homage to the fallen, I would like to share the US Embassy’s 2020 Memorial Day message, featuring former Ambassador Sung Y. Kim and Philippines Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, which is available to view: https://ph.usembassy.gov/tag/memorial-day/. Their words are as true today as they were last year. VA Manila leadership will participate in memorial services both at the Manila American Cemetery in Taguig City and the Clark Veterans Cemetery in Clark Freeport. While these commemorations will not be open to the public, VA and the US Embassy will show our support and solidarity in remembering those Veterans who served and sacrificed. The US Embassy will post photos of these services to their social media pages and to the US Embassy website as Memorial Day approaches, which you can follow online via the following links: • United States Embassy in the Philippines (Website) • US Embassy in the Philippines (Twitter) 2.

    Volume XVI – Number 07 TYPHOON February 2013 IF YOU DON’T ASK THEY CAN’T SAY I YES! V Veterans of Foreign Wars II ASK A WORTHY of the COMBAT VETERAN United States TO JOIN OUR III ELITE Commander VI ORGANIZATION Darin Combs TODAY! "Comradeship IV VII and Service" Commander Darin Combs Comrades, We are on the downhill side of the VFW year and you should be reviewing the requirements for All State and All American. Please do not wait until the last month to verify the requirements. Take note that part of the requirements for All State is to coordinate compliance with the appropriate chairman. It is not the chairman’s responsbility to confirm your eligibility. You should confirm things like your Post Buddy Poppy order, National Military Service donation and the National Home donation. You should also confirm that your Post History has been updated online; not just turned in, but posted as well. With the Post Community Service Reports, you need at least one report every month. It is not too late to post events for past months. I suggest taking a computer to your Post meeting and pulling up the database with your Comrades present. You can input a lot of events in just a few minutes. Don’t neglect your audits. Make sure the Department Quartmaster has all of your audits on file. When you are out recruiting and even among your post members, log onto www.vfw.org and register your membership. This is a good way to keep Comrades informed of what is going on with the organization.
