Early Notice: Forum for Today’s Heroes at the VFW National Convention
Current Conflicts Workshop

All VFW members welcome--a forum for members who became eligible for the VFW at September 11, 2001.

 

This will be part of VFW's National Convention in Phoenix, AZ. It will be held at a hotel TBD (adjacent to Convention Center) at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, 16 August 2009.

 

This will be the second year for this meeting. (Last year it was called the Iraq and Enduring Freedom Vets Forum--the name was changed to reflect GWOTM-E, Kosovo, Korean Defense Service, and other contemporary vets.) A chance to meet members of the Current Conflicts Advisory Group selected from last year’s convention.

 

Advisory group members will discuss the recommendations they made to the Adjutant General, what happened to those recommendations, and ways to keep the conversation going. This workshop will provide Current Conflict vets a forum for discussing their issues as well as meet others of their generation. At the conclusion, we will be seeking others who would like to participate at the department and national levels.
