Plymouth VFW Post And Vietnam Veterans of America Thank Plymouth-Canton Community For Support

It is only with the generous support of the Plymouth-Canton community, that our veterans are able to do the great things that they do.

Another year has come and gone, and our veterans at the Plymouth VFW Post 6695, and our veterans at the Plymouth-Canton Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 528 would like to take some time to thank the many members of our Plymouth-Canton community for your generous support throughout 2015.

Our veterans have a large presence in our community, as well as helping their fellow veterans through the Veterans Relief Fund. Some of the many things our veterans are involved in are:

Collecting & Purchasing clothes for clothes drives.

Above are just a few of the things that our veterans do throughout our communities. They can not do these things without the help and support of our whole community. They would like to thank everybody who donates in many ways, including the yearly Poppy Sales, the yearly Fish Fry dinners, the Car Shows, the Christmas Tree Sales, the yearly event at Main Street Car Wash in Plymouth, the Fall Festival in Plymouth, and the EG Nicks tent at the Fall Festival & Plymouth Ice Festival.

We have a very generous community in the Plymouth-Canton area, everybody contributes, and our veterans salute you...
