VFW Post 5702 Website Wins National Award

The new website of VFW Post 5702 states: "We do a lot to make all the veterans of the world happy." It furthers the point with scenes of men on the battlefield, battleships, and bombs scrawled with "VFW Post," along with a shot of a serviceman's homecoming, and the following slogans: 

• To all veterans of overseas conflicts we promise to foster comraderie, to serve and to advocate.
• Stand and deliver with us. 
• Patriotism has no expiration date.
• We are here for you because of you. 

"Fostering comradeship for the benefit of veteran's causes and service to the community, that is the essence of VFW Post 5702," the About Us page reads. 

The site was chosen as the 2011 first-place winner in the Post/District category in the National VFW contest. Judging was based on navigation, load time, design and overall content.

According Post 5702 Commander Steve Vreeland, “We owe a hearty thanks to Bob Lindabury, our web master and our very own Jeff McIntosh (Junior Vice Commander) for this award. Both of these individuals have worked hard to rebuild the web site. We are very proud of their work. This is the second time,” he continued, “that our site has won an award.”
