Our mission is to serve our fellow Veterans, their families and the communities where we live (in or around Western Springs). We achieve this by inviting our fellow Veterans who have been awarded a campaign / expeditionary medal to become members of the 10778 family. Through the ideals of selfless service; we visit hospitalized Veterans, support the Fisher House at Hines VA hospital, support vario

us State of Illinois Veteran Homes, the VFW National Home for Children, local homeless Veteran shelters, and tend to the needs of Veterans and or their families who may be in need. We value the educational goals of the local school districts and offer two essay scholarship opportunities each year: Voice of Democracy which is open to all high school students and Patriot's Pen which is open to all 6th-8th grade students. We support the Lyons Township High School's Model United Nations Club, we visit schools during Veterans Day Ceremonies and give special invitations to High School Seniors to participate in our annual Memorial Day Observance as guest speakers. All funds raised from our Post are returned to Veterans in need. If you are a qualifying Veteran living in or near Western Springs, IL… we would love to have you as a part of our Veteran Family.

It is you the the veterans that are causing these positive things to happen for our veterans. Thank you, It’s a privilege to serve.

I wish to thank the Daily Herald for the interview on the article Veterans Day and today they followed up with a very strong opinion.We certainly have come a long ways with miles to go. One of the most pressing issues are not our Elected officials but the misunderstanding from the different departments within the county that don't understand our needs. We will continue to educate them but the process just delays our growth.
