Platte City, MO (6 May 2023) — Members of VFW Post 4055 participated in VFW Day of Service — a dedicated day of service led by VFW members throughout the country and the world.
VFW Day of Service, led by veterans and in concert with other organizations and civic groups, is open for anyone to participate. The second annual VFW Day of Service is the first Saturday in May (May 6), marking the start of veteran-led community service projects to take place throughout the month.
Post 4055 members took part by conducting Police Calls cleaning up litter and debris at the Platte City Cemetery, Larkin Cemetery and Hampton Cemetery.
Bill Prost " We really appreciate the opportunity to work with the City of Platte City (thanks to DJ!) to conduct a police call at the Platte City cemetery to pick up trash and limbs or sticks. We continue to serve the local Platte County community and we are proud that our members exemplify the continued service of the VFW."
