Proudly rooted in the Ventura community, Veterans of Foreign
Wars Post 1679 is a dedicated home for veterans, service members, and their
families. Since our founding, we have remained committed to honoring the legacy
of those who have served overseas and to building a vibrant support network for
Ventura County area veterans. For over 78 years, our Post has brought together
veterans of every era -- from World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan -- offering
a place to share stories, foster camaraderie, and continue the mission of
service. Our commitment is rooted in
Our
mission: to foster camaraderie among United States veterans of
overseas conflicts, to serve our veterans, the military, and our communities,
and to advocate on behalf of all veterans.
Our
vision: to ensure that veterans are respected for their service,
always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifices
they and their families have made for this great country.
At VFW Post 1679, we host civic and military leaders,
create opportunities for community involvement, honor our flag with deep
reverence, and pay tribute to our fallen heroes through solemn ceremonies.
Whether through advocacy, your programs, community events, or steak nights, we
remain a pillar of connection and support for those who've worn the uniform. We
invite you to explore, engage, and be part of our enduring legacy.
...we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.
WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War, Kosovo, War in Afghanistan, War in Iraq, War on Global Terror and other Peace-Keeping Expeditionary Campaigns throughout the globe.
Our programs support our service members while they are on the front line, as they are being discharged and long after they return. Your tax-deductible donation will be immediately directed to the VFW programs where your support is most urgently needed.
