U.S. NAVY

America's Navy is a force as relevant today as it's been historically significan for the last 238 years. The times may change, the threats may become more obscure, the complex nature of 21st century life may make the demand for such presence less obvious. However, now more than ever, the Navy is something to be aware of Something to be thankful for. Something to be proud of.

U.S. ARMY

The U.S. Army is made up of the most dedicated, most respected soldiers in the world. These soldiers protect America's Freedoms while serving at home and abroad, and they are always prepared to defend the nation in times of need.

U.S. MARINES

We are soldiers of the sea, providing forces and detachments to naval ships and shore operations. We are global leaders, developing expeditionary doctrine and innovations that set the example, and leading other countries' forces and agencies in the multinational military operations. These unique capabilities make us "First to Fight", and our nations first line of defense.

U.S. AIR FORCE

Air Force has a vision of Global Vigilance, Reach and Power. That vision orbits around three core competencies: developing airmen, technology to war fighting and integrating operations. These core competencies make our six distinctive capabilities possible.

FROM THE DESK OF THE QUARTERMASTER

September is Suicide Awareness Month. I encourage you to check in on your loved ones, co-workers, friends, or family. Sometimes, the signs of depression can be easily seen, but in other situations, you would never know someone is struggling. I myself have lost brothers and sisters I served with to the battle within. Their loss wasn't easy then, and it never will be. As I said, I encourage you to check in with those you love. If you are a veteran, we here at the VFW Post in Sandusky, and all VFW posts are open for you to come in. It doesn't matter if you served in a foreign conflict. If you need help, come and see us. We are here for you and will, along with all members of the VFW, continue to fight the fight that we hope ends Veteran suicide.
