A Message from the Department of Oregon Junior Vice President 2026–2027 Auxiliary Year
As we begin a new Auxiliary year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each member of the Department of Oregon VFW Auxiliary for your dedication, compassion, and commitment, and who continue to make our organization a source of hope, compassion, and unwavering support serving our veterans, service members, their families, and our communities.
Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization. Whether you volunteer at a hospital, support a community event, mentor youth, or simply lend a helping hand when needed, your service makes a lasting difference. Every hour you give reflects the spirit of the VFW Auxiliary. Your generosity of time and talent truly makes a difference. Thank you for all that you do, often behind the scenes and without recognition.
This year, I encourage each of us to focus on growing our Auxiliary by inviting eligible family members and friends to join our mission. Membership is more than adding numbers—it is about welcoming caring individuals who want to continue the legacy of honoring those who have served. Just as important is making every member feel welcome, appreciated, and inspired to become involved.
The future of our Department of Oregon Auxiliary depends on each of us. Together, we can grow our membership, strengthen our programs, and continue making a lasting impact in our communities. Let us move forward with hope, purpose, and a renewed commitment to our mission.
Thank you for all you do for the Department of Oregon. I look forward to serving alongside each of you as we make this a successful and meaningful year.
