VFW Post 2166 Operations

Today we had 40 teams signed up to play in the 7th Annual VFW Post 2166 Auxiliary Golf Tournament. Thanks to all that came out to play and support our Post's mission to take care of veterans! We ask that you each take a moment to remember those veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice to allow us to be where we are today.

Members of VFW Post 2166 Operations, Elizabethton Mayor Bill Carter, and NNDCC cadets from Elizabethton High School completed the VFW National Day of Service by cleaning up the Veterans Memorial. Thanks to all who helped out!

Together, as a community, we gather in solemn remembrance to pay tribute to our fallen heroes whose courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty, secured the freedoms we enjoy today.

We look forward to honoring our nation’s heroes with dignity, respect, and gratitude.

Congratulations Comrade Tony Banchs for your election to District 1 Commander. We wish you a successful term of office.

Additionally, Chris Carrier is Judge Advocate, Shaun Smith is Service Officer/Benefits Advisor, and Kit Crawford is 1 year Trustee. Thank you all for stepping up to serve and make the District run smoothly to better serve the Posts and Veterans.

***Clarifying Comment***

At 10am the Boy Scouts will be providing a demonstration of flag placement and immediately following, kick off a brief ceremony. At the conclusion of their ceremony, the public will begin placing flags. Flag placement will take place rain or shine.

Mountain Home National Cemetery would like to invite the community to join us in placing flags on the gravesites of our nation’s heroes in preparation for Memorial Day.

This special tradition serves as a meaningful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. As we place each flag, we honor their memory and ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.🇺🇸
