WE REMEMBER

We will always remember our Veterans. Our veterans are the reason the VFW was established. Veterans helping Veterans

Memorial Day

VFW Post 8971, American Legion Post 129 and Dav Chapter 19 will have a Ceremony every Memorial day at the Veterans Monument on Park Ave at 5:00PM. We will honor all the fallen veterans and POW veterans from Eunice. Everyone is welcome to join us for a great ceremony. You will enjoy what our Veterans in Eunice are doing.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.
