Buddy Poppies

The Buddy Poppy Program has helped the VFW live up to its motto, "to honor the dead by helping the living." The Buddy Poppy - small red flower is symbolic of the blood shed in World War I. Distribution at local WAWA and ACME stores benefits veteran relief and provides jobs to the disabled.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

WELCOME TO GREATER ABSECON ISLAND VFW POST 215

Teamwork - Leadership - Committment
Greater Absecon Island Post 215 is located at 601 N. Dorset Avenue in Ventnor Heights, Ventnor, NJ.

We host an active Auxiliary Chapter who play an integral role in our fundraising efforts.
 
Our Post was re-chartered in August of 2014 as a result of the merger of the Atlantic City  (formerly Lt. J. Willis Gale) Post 215 and the Ventnor (formerly Turner-Bunting-Durkin) Post 3361. The building itself was built as a VFW Post by WWI and WWII veterans in the early 50's and has been active in the local community ever since.
