Commander Marci Juris
Serving as Commander of VFW Post 9657 is an honor rooted in my commitment to every veteran who calls this community home. My vision is simple and unwavering: to make VFW Post 9657 a strong, reliable community resource — a place where veterans find support, connection, and purpose.
This year, my goals focus on strengthening the foundation of our Post and expanding the ways we serve:
- Post readiness — reinforcing the essential operations of our facility and building a stable, engaged membership that keeps our Post strong and sustainable.
- Community‑facing engagement — increasing events, outreach, and partnerships that connect veterans with real resources. By working with local organizations and hosting meaningful activities, we create opportunities for veterans to engage, heal, and thrive.
- Mission‑driven membership — fostering a culture of service, partnership, and purpose that reflects the heart of the VFW mission. Membership is more than numbers; it is the strength behind every effort we undertake.
I say this often because it guides everything I do: "I will not sit by and let another veteran go without the support they need.” That promise is the foundation of my leadership and the direction of our Post.
Together, we will continue building a Post that stands ready, stands united, and stands for veterans — always.
- Post Commander Marci Juris
A Strong Community Resource — Every Veteran. Every Time.
