MSG WILLIAM J. CRAWFORD · VFW POST 7829 · MONUMENT, CO

You stood the watch overseas.
Now find your people back home.

Post 7829 serves the Tri-Lakes community from wherever we gather — the pub on Friday, the Chamber on Wednesday, the parade route on Memorial Day. No hall. No dress code. Just veterans who earned an expeditionary campaign medal and decided the mission doesn't end at discharge.

Wondering if you're eligible?

VFW membership is for U.S. citizens who served honorably and earned an expeditionary campaign medal — meaning you served in a foreign conflict or a qualifying hostile area.

What Post 7829 does

Scholarships that put kids in college
Voice of Democracy, Patriot's Pen, and Scout of the Year programs — real scholarship dollars into local students every year.
A teacher honored for showing up
Our Teacher of the Year program recognizes a Lewis-Palmer or Tri-Lakes educator who brings citizenship into the classroom.
Veterans helped when it matters
Service officer support for VA claims, Buddy Check network, and a standing offer to any vet in crisis: call first, everything else waits.
A community that shows up
Memorial Day ceremony. Veterans Day. Flag retirements. Parades. Wreaths Across America. Post 7829 is there in uniform.
A place for spouses, kids, and allies too
The VFW Auxiliary is open to spouses, parents, siblings, and children of eligible veterans — a full partner in everything we do.
