As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we welcome today's service members into our ranks. Our common bond is service overseas, whether in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns.
Red Hook VFW Post 7765 brings together veterans who served in foreign wars and campaigns, supports their families, and gives back to the Red Hook community that has supported us for decades.
The Post is home to our canteen, a hall available to rent, The Bunker golf simulators, our Honor Guard, and the VFW Auxiliary. Members and guests are welcome during canteen hours.
