VFW Post wins All-State
For the fourth consecutive year, Dripping Springs VFW Post 2933 received the All-State Award. The post’s award for the year 2018-18 was presented to post officers at the VFW District 5 meeting in late Aug.
In order to achieve ALLSTATE status, a VFW post must meet stringent membership requirements which include active participation in various community and organizational projects such as Voice of Democracy, Patriot Pen, Citizenship & Education Awards, charitable donations, and officer qualifications.
“I think the winning of this award for a third year in a row speaks to the quality of our members and their involvement in our Dripping Springs community,” VFW Post Commander Ronnie G. (Shorty) Barnett said. “I’m especially proud of our post’s involvement with young people and our local schools.”
