District 1 has accepted an invitation to participate in the “Hunt for Hampton History” from 9 AM to 3PM on Saturday March 6, 2010 at the Hampton History Museum, 20 Old Hampton Lane, Hampton, VA. Part of the city of Hampton’s 400th anniversary celebration, this particular event will showcase the history of a community whose colorful, unique and often turbulent history is as old as nearby Jamestown but it is Hampton that has survived into the new millennium. That history includes military history - Hampton’s veterans have participated in every conflict that has occurred in Hampton’s lifeline both here at home and while serving overseas. Veterans from Hampton are asked to bring their living history down to the museum and share their exploits and adventures with their neighbors and friends at the VFW's booth. District One’s State Recruiting Team and members of both of Hampton's VFW Posts, Craigs McCue Memorial VFW Post 3219 in Phoebus and William T. Allen Memorial VFW Post 5500 and their respective Auxiliaries, will be on hand to "enlist" interested, eligible veterans in the VFW Post of their choice or to encourage their spouses and children to join an Auxiliary unit. Both Post 3219 and Post 5500 have Ladies' Auxiliaries, Post 3219 has a Mens' Auxiliary as well.The Veterans of Foreign Wars is a 1.4 million member national veterans service organization with membership based on citizenship, honorable military service, and combat service. In its own history of 110 years of service "honoring the dead by assisting the living", the VFW has helped veterans and active military in need, their families and the communities they live in. For more information about membership in the VFW contact the District's State Recruiting Team of Venner Milewski (757-223-5763); Thomas Randall (757-570-3181) or Raymond Wetherell (757-503-9938).
