Is your VFW a museum?

My VFW post (7400) has a good sized collection of uniforms and other memorabilia. We make this available to the general public on Veterans Day along with a piles of member owned items.

Does your VFW do this?

If so .. please post some pictures!

Yeah pretty much. I tried to talk to some of the older Vets there and they would rather "Fund Raise" than fix the place up. It looks like a concrete cinder block bunker with old pictures and awards from the 70s and 80s. Kinda sad.

No..unless you count the occupants..ha!

Sadly, I believe that thefts have kept the displays to a minimum. We only have a few pics on the wall and a small glass case with a few hats. But I will bring it up and see if we cant improve it.

Thanks for the ideas..

Nice! We have some unit insignia boards and other wall hangings from different conflicts, but nothing like this!!
