Our Mission

Our Mission is to foster camaraderie among United States Veterans of overseas conflicts, to serve our Veterans, the military, and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all Veterans.

Post Meetings

Our Post meets at Sacred Hearts Academy in Kaimuki on the beautiful island of O'ahu. Our meetings are on the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.

Buddy Poppies

We hand out Buddy Poppies several times annually to remind the community of our Veterans. All donation proceeds will go to Veterans in need, their families, and youth scholarships.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

Membership

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's qualified military service members into our ranks to become part of our honored group.
