I'm sure most members have an old service photo of themselves laying around somewhere. When you find your photo you can either mail it to Tom Brown at 17730 Snow Ave. Dearborn, MI 48124, scan it and send it to: [email protected] as an attached jpg (digital image), bring it to our general membership meetings and give it to Tom or drop it off at the VFW Post. Be sure to include your name, branch of service and the year the photo was taken. The photo will be scanned and made into a jpg and placed on our website. I will also send each photo to Don Petrere who will then place the copied service photo into our display case at the V.F.W. All photos will be returned to the owner.
April 2019 Calendar Thanks, Nancy Dignan!
