ABOUT US

VFW 7764 Membership & Auxiliary
Tattnall County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7764 was chartered on September 12, 1961, with 45 members including veterans of World War II and Korea. Currently (FY 2024), we have 78 members (58 Life Members) inclusive of veterans of Vietnam, the Cold War, and the Global War on Terror. In 2021, VFW Post 7764 became All-State and All-American for the first time in the 60-year history of the organization. Nationally in 2021, we were rated 11th in District 11 (which is 50 or fewer members). Our goal going forward was to earn All-State & All-American again and increase our membership, visibility, influence, and community involvement, and grow our Auxiliary and their involvement. We achieved all of those goals every year since. VFW Post 7764 was also named the National Outstanding Community Service Post for 2023 with over 4,000 Community Service Hours.

Our membership is a cross-section of the local population which comes from every community in Tattnall and surrounding Counties as well as scattered members in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Our goal is to serve and advocate on behalf of our veterans, the local military, and our community. We give priority to veterans but will assist any member of the community in need if it’s within our capability and resources. We also provide Honor Guard and Flag Detail services (for Veteran’s funerals) as well as Flag Sponsorships for local businesses.

As of this writing, we have 53 wheelchair ramps out in a six-county area which we’ve provided free of charge to veterans and community members. Some wheelchair ramps are donated to us but mostly we purchase used aluminum ramps that are within our budget and a one or two state driving distance. We purchase ramps with money raised through Donations, Buddy Poppy sales, Boston Butt sales, Chili Cook-Offs, Chicken Quarter Dinner Plates, the occasional Benefit Ride and we host a monthly gun raffle .
