Announcements

Fellow veterans,

I'm proud to announce that Post 3834 has been designated an All-American Post for 2025-26!

This honor doesn't happen by accident. It reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our members across every area, from membership growth to community service to program participation. Earning All-American status means Post 3834 met and exceeded the standards set at the national level, putting us among the top posts in the entire VFW organization.

This recognition belongs to all of you. Every member who renewed, recruited, volunteered, or showed up mattered. It's proof of what we can accomplish when we work together.

Let's carry this momentum into the new year and keep Post 3834 standing among the best.

For God and Country,

Commander Barragan, VFW Post 3834

VFW 2026: Veterans Day of Service

What does service look like after the uniform comes off? In San Fernando, it looks like veterans pulling weeds alongside Cub Scouts, families clearing trash from a neighborhood park, and five organizations standing shoulder-to-shoulder to make their city a little better than they found it.
