Gulf War Era Veterans make up the largest group of Veterans at this time, we owe it to them, their families, and our workers to have a clean, smoke free environment where they can have a meal, a drink, or socialize during a community event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you, or anyone you know hasn\u2019t been by in a while, please come by to check out our weekly events, and our annual Fish Fry Fridays during Lent, \u201c Pero said. \u201cOn behalf of those who have served to protect our freedoms, we want to, Thank You in advance for your continued support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VFW POST 4105 2018-19<\/p>\n<p>Commander -Thomas Pero<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:cdrpost4105@mo.vfwwebmail.com\">cdrpost4105@mo.vfwwebmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>myvfw.org\/mo\/post4105\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smoke-Free in 2019 Florissant Valley Memorial VFW Post 4105 is now \u201cSmoke Free.\u201d Commander Thomas Pero made the announcement Monday with\u00a0\u00a0 2019 marking the 50th Anniversary of being part of the Veteran Friendly Community.
