VFW Post 406 Newport has earned the elite All American Post award for 2025. To earn the VFW All-American Post award, a post must achieve excellence in membership growth, demonstrate strong participation in key VFW programs like Voice of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen (advancing entries to district/state), support Veterans & Military Support Services via fundraisers/donations, actively engage the community, and submit all reports accurately and on time, signifying elite leadership and action.
RI VFW State Commander Joseph Diniz visited Post 406 at our December monthly meeting to personally present the award to Post Commander Anselm Richards. The award includes a certificate, ribbon streamer, citation, and special recognition in the national VFW magazine. Commander Richards in his remarks cited the importance of individual members contributing and working as a team that enabled the post to earn this highly coveted award.
