Master Sergeant Jerry Townsend and a crew involving Senior Vice Commander Joe Barker  are raising resources to rebuild the Veterans of International Wars (VFW) Publish 6088 on River Street in Washington. 

 

The objective is to make the developing a area for VFW meetings and community situations. 

 

Townsend retired from the U.S. Military in 2017 after serving three deployments. Townsend was a recruiter in the Washington location adhering to his initially deployment which was soon immediately after Sept. 11, 2001. In the course of his second deployment, Townsend and his wife moved away, but stored a home in Washington and rented it out. They moved back again to the area in 2020 right after he retired.

The rebuilding undertaking started in January 2022 when he last but not least found the Commander. Townsend went to the initial assembly which had about 3 or 4 adult men who often attended. 

 

“The facility was just run down from neglect,” he stated. There have been “gaping holes” in the sheetrock in the ceiling. 

 

Above the very last two months, Townsend, Barker and others transformed the interior of the setting up like correcting the inside of roofing and sheetrock as effectively as portray the ceiling, painting the walls, transforming two loos, setting up new lights and cleaning. They utilized their own revenue and did the labor themselves. 

 

Townsend shared that a VFW district assembly is upcoming. “I just could not have our district and our state VFW Command crew come down to this building and see it in these disarray.” 

 

The roof continues to be in disrepair. Townsend estimates the roof to be about 30 or 40 decades previous and to have gained numerous “patchwork” employment around the yrs. A making fund has been established to set a new roof on the creating. The fund has collected $3,200, but needs $15,000 complete. This would also aid shell out for a new vent in the kitchen that is above a grill. 

 

It is Townsend’s hope to get young fight veterans intrigued in being associates of the VFW. This “revitalization,” he claims, will aid guidance soldiers and the group. Also, he would like to see it award more sponsorships and have much more local community situations at the building. 

 

“Our full aim is to not only serve our soldiers, but provide the community as perfectly,” Townsend reported. “And attempt to get us again out there wherever persons, when they drive by, they say ‘hey, the VFW has cars there. That signifies somebody’s there. Probably they can assist us do a thing.’”
