LYME/OLD LYME--Lyme-Old Lyme (LOL) VFW Post 1467 reminds all local Veterans and Veteran families in need that they can reach out to the Post to request a great variety of types of assistance.
All that is required is the Veteran’s DDForm214 Record of Military Service and a call to Services Officer, Navy Retired Captain Larry Olsen at 607-220-7137. The Services Officer will then respond, assess the need, and assist as appropriate.
Since 2012, VFW Post 1457 has been provided over 170,000 services to 134 veterans and veterans’ families In need. These services have included home repairs, medical costs, clothing needs, funeral expenses, utility, insurance & mortgage payments, and used cars with many coming discounted from All-Pro Automotive. The Post has many partners, who support the LOL “No Bar, No Building; Just Good Works” Post 1467.
Last year, the State of Connecticut VFW honored LOL Post 1467 with the accolade of ‘Best VFW in the State of Connecticut.’
