VFW NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS ANNOUNCES HAWKINS-REEVE POST 7916 HAS EARNED ALL-AMERICAN STATUS FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR
On Wednesday 3 July, VFW Commander-in-Chief BJ Lawrence announced, for the third year in a row, Hawkins-Reeve Post 7916 is a worldwide All- American Honoree placing the Post in the top 1% of over 6300 VFW posts worldwide.
"This is a great announcement but an even greater acknowledgement that putting in the work needed pays off” said State Commander Rick Raskin.
Raskin’s high regard for Commander Jeff Lett, his leadership team, and the great work of the Post is well known.
"But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserves us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace too proud to pray to the God that made us".

GOD BLESS AMERICA
It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
