The Southern Conference of the VFW is one of four conferences in the national organization, and represents the fourteen states stretching across the United States from Texas to Virginia. Our goal is to foster an online community of armed service men and women (active and retired), their families, friends, and our valued donors. We also aim to administer support to veterans and their families, providing resources both locally and nationally. We proudly hit these marks in a way no other part of the organization can – with immense southern pride!
The Southern Conference is a unique region of our organization. Southerners speak in their own language, are emphatic about the regional food, and among other things are truly kind. Being Southern is more than jut being from a southern state its about the values, patriotism and sharing memories and stories with a community that understands. Let’s face it, it’s about the sweet tea too.
All of our VFW Southern Conference members and donors have a passion for our home, and our country. We have respect and appreciation for our history and the sacrifice and honor of those that came before us.
We are the Veterans of Foreign Wars Southern Conference and we are proud of where we all come from but we are prouder still to be part of an organization that Does More for Veterans.
Commander Tony Dobbins
Comrades and Auxiliary Members of the Southern Conference,
As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for the hard work and dedication you demonstrate every day in your departments. Your unwavering commitment to assisting veterans and their families—whether through benefits support, emergency assistance, or simply showing that we care—truly reflects the heart and mission of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
As we gather around our tables to give thanks, let us also remember those who are standing watch and guarding the gates of freedom around the world. Their sacrifice, and the sacrifice of their families, reminds us of the true meaning of service.
I wish each of you a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving. May you cherish this time with your family, friends, and loved ones.
Sincerely,
Tony Dobbins
Southern Conference Chairman
