Welcome to the Department of Pennsylvania 8th District of the Veterans of Foreign Wars!

On behalf of the District 8 Commander John August Otte, I want to extend a warm welcome to you either as a fellow Comrade of the VFW or potential new member to our ranks. We are proud to have a District Website and are excited to have a virtual home for which to share and disseminate important information from posts and activities from around our district.

Our District has a proud and rich heritage of VFW posts that are very active within their communities especially when it comes to the area of veterans outreach.   Each post within the district is laser focused on achieving our 123-year primary mission of assisting veterans, their spouses and surviving orphans.  Our programs and events are designed to meet the needs of today’s veterans including those that have served or are presently serving this great nation.   You will not find better camaraderie, friendship or personal care for veterans than in District 8. 

 

We are indeed the “Pride of the Commonwealth.”

 

We hope you enjoy and find this website useful as you continue your VFW journey.  Again, on behalf of John August Otte and the entire District 8 Senior Leadership team, we welcome you to the 8th District.  

 

No one does more for Pennsylvania Veterans!
