VFW Visit: Post 3830 in Hawaii

No, don't get excited.  I didn't fly over there to attend a meeting.  However, I did harness technology and attended a Post meeting via Zoom on the Big Island last night.  Given the current state of medical affairs in the world we need to do more than think outside the box; we have to burn the box, get away from it, and start from a new perspective!

My counterpart in Hawaii is Senior Vice Commander Lewis and she is also the Post Senior Vice Commander.  State Commander Lockwood flew over from Oahu to be part of the meeting.  These two are a force to be reckoned with over the next few years. They have big ideas and the most important thing of all, they understand that our mission is to serve veterans, their families, and their communities.  No matter what issues may have occurred in the past, these two understand the need for teamwork.  They both exude a can-do spirit and, as we all know, that spirit is a great motivator and huge factor in the success of any organization.

The official Post name is:  Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Post 3830, Pahoa, Lance Corporal Hayward Kimo Hamili Peleiholani Memorial Post.  I'm pretty sure I can remember Post 3830!

Special thanks to Auxiliary President Sauer for taking me on a 'tour' of the building and grounds.  The Post home is beautiful and is full of memorabilia and history.  One of these days I will make a visit in person!

Mahalo nui loa!
