Cooties

As a small assembly who at times acts a little off-beat within a larger, more serious organization, we are always looking to Increase and Multiply. If this sounds like something you might be interested in doing, we want to know about you. If you are not currently a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S., we can help you to take that first step. If you are currently a member of the VFW, and would like to have more information about our work please call Jake at 515-238-4097.
