WE REMEMBER

We remember Dean Lund - An officer and active member of Post 1081 passed away peacefully on Wednesday Aug 5, 2020 with family by his side. An inspiration to this post as well as other Veteran organizations in the Wayne county area, our brother will be missed. Our hearts go out to his family and community as we remember Service Officer Dean Lund. Thank you sir for your continuing service to our country.

Our History

PARADE

As part of our continuing support of Wooster and the community at large the VFW is a key part in both appearing and organizing the annual Memorial day parade.

Memorial day

Buddy Poppies

Look for us, VFW Post 1081, as we provide donation opportunities at various Wooster businesses through out 2020. If you want more information about how and why the "Buddy Poppy" was created, ask for our post Tri-fold!

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.
