I was honored to visit 2 of my friends graves at the VA cemetery in Pembroke today! What a beautiful place it is! It will be my final resting place some day.

Remember at the end of this month is Memorial Day where we honor our fallen brothers and sisters. Amherst Township VFW Post 416 will be marching in the Clarence Memorial Day parade since Clarence is a part of our area. We are honored to be marching in this parade at the bequest of our brothers and sisters at American Legion Post 838 in Clarence!
Remember we at Amherst Township VFW Post 416 will be putting flags on the graves of veterans on the Saturday before Memorial Day! Public is welcomed to come out and assist if they would like. Meet at Amherst Township VFW Post 416 at 9 am. Thank you.

Calling out to all members and Auxillary!! In June we will be returning to the Williamsville Farmers Market! It will be every other Saturday from June to October! We need volunteers to be there! If the Commander can be out there so can you. This is a great opportunity to get our name out there and help our community but also to help our veterans and ourselves.
Yes it takes commitment but if no work is done then there is no reward. Like you I have a busy life but WE all LOVE OUR Post and need to help. Half a shift (4 hours) or the whole time 8 am to 1 pm. What do you say? I say yes!

This is the true reason why we are here at Amherst Township VFW Post 416. We had a message left for a veteran who needed assistance with their benefits. At the Post level we can only guide them on the right path. In talking to them they were given names, telephone numbers of peo or organizations that can help them out. These are the people who do this full time and can be of assistance and an asset to the veteran.
The person I talked with asked also about joining the Post but sadly they weren’t eligible. But what was mentioned were other wonderful Veteran Service Organizations and where they are that this veteran could join.
This right here is a part of what we do. If we can’t do it ourselves then we can guide this veteran to people who can. It is called serving.....

Happy Easter to my Officers and members of Amherst Township VFW Post 416. Many blessings to you and your families!

Had a great time at the Farmers Market at the Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village. No snow, no rain but a lot of fun ! Thank you Wayne and John for being there! We had a lot of people stop by and chat and got over 50 dollars for our Buddy Poppy fund which helps out veterans in the hospital. Also had a great vendor who gave us some pastries which we truly enjoyed!!
We want the public to know that we are here for our fellow veterans and who we are and what we do!
