Commander's Corner

Commander David Latham

I would like to personally welcome all our new Post members and the the new members of our Auxiliary to our fold. This Post is nothing without our new members. We would like to have all our new folks to seek out opportunities to volunteer and make a difference. We have so many opportunities for people to volunteer for our activities at occur at our Post almost every day. We are one of the most active Posts in the State of Colorado and will continue to be so.


I would also like to acknowledge Billy Kolz, who was elected our Junior Vice Commander.


November of each year is one of our most important months. The month has Veterans Day on the 11th and we, at the VFW, celebrate the day with a Parade and then an Open House. November also sees us hold a Membership Drive where we encourage all our members to find and recruit one new member.


Again, thank you for becoming a member of VFW Post 4031 and joining the ranks of this important asset to the City of Durango and La Plata County.
