Historical Perspective
VFW 7765 an anchor of the Red Hook Community since 1948…
Since its founding, the Post continually provides critical services to military veterans and their families and engages in the community at large through dozens of events annually.
But for all its success, the Post faces real and urgent challenges. As the years pass, the loss of older VFW combat veterans outpaces the arrival of new ones. This is partially overcome by hiring services that were voluntary in the past.
However, our aging facility needs major renovations that will allow us to continue to be viable in the community for years to come.
