One of the many things we do that is of great importance is helping local vets. We help the local vets by whatever means we are able. There are times when a local veteran requires medical assistance like a wheel chair or transportation to a VA or other medical facility. We do our very best to help our local vets.
The purpose of VFW Post 12055 shall be fraternal, patriotic, historical, charitable, and educational; to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; to assist worthy comrades; to perpetuate the memory and history of the dead, and to assist their widows and orphans; to maintain true allegiance to the Government of the United States, and fidelity to its Constitution and laws; to foster true patriotism; to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, and to preserve and defend the United States from all her enemies, whosoever.
VFW Post 12055 does not have an official “building”. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 1900 hrs. at the East Manatee Fire Rescue.
