​“The VFW is America's largest organization of combat veterans," said Floyd Houston, new Post Commander of the Brownsville VFW Post 6937.  "The importance of the VFW is that the VFW is strong and organized in every community, in every city, and every state throughout the United States.  Through the local Post, we come together as equals - women and men forged in the fires of war, from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, to remember our fallen, help the living, and do good works in the community.”

Don't you know the USMC's birthday was July 11th. Nov. 10, 1775, may be the commonly celebrated birthday of the Marine Corps, but it wasn't actually established as its own branch until about 23 years later. On July 11, 1798, U.S. President John Adams signed "An Act for Establishing and Organizing a Marine Corps," effectively creating a new branch of the military.
