What it says it does
Foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. Serve our veterans, the military, and our communities. Advocate on behalf of all veterans. Our vision is to ensure that veterans are respected for their service, receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country. The VFW is an organization of war veterans committed to ensuring rights, remembering sacrifices, promoting patriotism, performing community services and advocating for a strong national defense. Our post is named for John Boyd, the first resident of Moore County to be lost during WWII. Throughout our 70 year history here in the Sandhills of North Carolina, Post 7318 works to support all service members, in their lives after serving our nation. Renovating our current Post home in 2015, we have become a premier location for veterans visiting the area. We have robust Veteran's Relief Support System.
