Rusk County Memorial VFW Post 8535
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.  Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.
 
The Rusk County Memorial VFW recently relocated to our new building at 2319 State Highway 64 in Henderson, Texas.  We are working on building up our membership and resuming our community outreach programs.  If you are a local Veteran, family member of a Veteran or would just like to help out, come visit us.
 
We are open to the public Thursday and Friday from 6 pm to midnight, and Saturday from 6 pm to 1 am.  Our monthly meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month starting at 6:30 pm.  Join us and learn more about what we do.
