Review for VFW National Home , Eaton Rapids, MI, USA
The first time I visited the VFW National Home was through the VFW Voice of Democracy Scholarship competition. Upon stepping foot on the National Home campus and hearing about the service this great organization provides to the family members of our country's heroes, I was instantly compelled to help share what was then known as the VFW's best-kept secret. As a leader in the Michigan District of Key Club, I helped partner the National Home with thousands of high school volunteers. Though we came from all over the state, we visited the National Home to help with beautification projects and provide general donations. It's always wonderful hearing from the National Home and keeping up with their buddy poppy children and their graduation rates. I truly believe that the National Home provides a sustainable and effective model for assisting military families and would love to see an expansion of the campus!
