Four soldiers in Alaska died by su***de in one month despite surge in mental health help

You are NOT alone! Please dial 988, then press 1 to be connected to a representative from the Dept. of Veteran Affairs if you are experiencing a mental health crisis. You are STRONGER than you think! 🇺🇸💪🏾🇺🇸

The alarming surge comes after the Army dispatched some 40 counselors and chaplains to Alaska earlier this year and required counseling sessions.

On behalf of the officers & comrades of Trenton VFW Post 12165, I’d like to wish all that served a Happy Veterans Day.

“Marine’s Remains Were To Be Mailed To Mom, Bikers Say ‘Hell No’

When a group of tough bikers found out that a Marine’s remains were set to be shipped home to his mother in a box, they were appalled. They weren’t about to sit back and do nothing. Instead, they quickly stepped in. Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner (Photo Credit: YouTube) Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner....

Tune in and watch our “Understanding VFW Auxiliary Traditions” video! This video is a guide to help new members learn about our Ritual and the unique things we do at meetings. In this video, you’ll learn about:
• Entering a meeting.
• What the raps of the gavel mean.
• What Parade Rest is.
• How to show proper respect to the Flag, Altar and Bible.
• The proper way to address the President and make a motion.
We hope this guide helps you become more familiar with how our meetings are conducted; this will come naturally as you learn our traditions. As always, if you have further questions about meeting etiquette and protocol, be sure to ask a fellow member who has had years, or even decades, of experience with the Auxiliary. https://youtu.be/FUfD87PhebU

Congratulations Comrade.

I just wanted to share my new veteran-based post apocalypse book series, the Guardians of Rockport. Retired Air Force OSI special agent Doug Chapman has prepared his family for the worst. But when the town of Rockport asks him to serve once again, he leads a band of military veterans and vol firefighters to protect their community as society collapses around them.

Thank you to the Trenton VFW Post 12165 and our Vice President for honoring loca heroes in the community in which our Executive Director Vincent Bridgett Sr was one of the honorees in remembrance of the tragedy that happened on 9/11. We want to congratulate all the honorees and we want to say keep doing what you been doing so you can be an inspiration to whoever that is up next.

At least 10 African American veterans of the Civil War rest in Trenton’s Locust Hill Ceremony. In the century which has passed since their deaths much has changed in Trenton and even at their gravesites. Locust Hill is the City’s largest remaining African American burial ground, but it was neglected for many years. It is now the subject of a restoration effort that has brought together residents, multiple City groups and civic leaders.
On Saturday, May 28, 2022 at 10 a.m. the public is invited to join them in honoring the veterans interred at Locust Hill in a traditional flag placement ceremony. The Cemetery is located at 73 Hart Avenue in Trenton’s East Ward. During the ceremony ten flags will be planted in the Cemetery sod, one for each of the Civil War veterans buried there. The exact locations of their graves are unknown, and the identify of four of the veterans is “known only to God.” Nonetheless, they will be remembered with respect and gratitude for their service during our nation’s greatest hour of trial.
The flag placement is sponsored by the 6th Regiment U.S. Colored Troops Reenactors and the Kiwanis Club of Trenton. The ceremony is free and the public is encouraged to attend. For more information, please call (609) 208-9991.
