OUR MISSION To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and ... our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans. OUR VISION Ensure that veterans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country. A GATHERING PLACE It's a bond like no other. The military forges friendships that last a lifetime and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8790 has become a gathering place for veteran camaraderie for over sixty years. Inside our Post, you'll find veterans of every era - from World War II to Iraq & Afghanistan - all enjoying each others' company and that special bond that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines all share. We were there. We appreciate your sacrifices. And we look forward to having you at our Post. ENGAGING LEADERS VFW Post 8790 is proud to host civic and military leaders at our hall, offering leaders an opportunity to engage with Houston's veterans on key issues. As patriotic Americans and military service members, our membership represents key stakeholders in our community. COMMUNITY ACTION The true character of America is measured by her communities and the people who work to improve them.
