New VFW NC Post 9983 Topsail Island Post

As an American citizen who has served in the military, I often hear the pros and cons of the current fighting around the world including opinions about our government leaders. What seems to be forgotten is the soldiers.

I would like to take a moment to say thanks for every one who serves this nation and also congratulations to the new Veterans of Foreign Wars North Carolina Post 9983 Topsail Island Post.

There are pictures, meeting information and contact details regarding the new Topsail Island Post online at http://vfwwebcom.org/nc/post9983/10088/Welcome+to+VFW+Post+9983-The+New+Topsail+Island+Post.html.

If you are an eligible veteran, I would encourage you to check out the new post and join. If not, I would ask you to think about those who protect our freedoms even with their very lives. Maybe that is worth a "Thank You" from time to time.
