RIDGEWAY – The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) has announced that Jeff Henry has achieved All-American status as a Post commander. The award was presented during the 2024 VFW South Carolina Department Convention at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Columbia.
To achieve this honor, Post Commanders must meet strict requirements in their role to include exceptional leadership, authentic accomplishment in membership growth and strong support of VFW core programs.
Henry, a life member and commander of Post 8346 in Ridgeway, is one of 854 VFW Post Commanders worldwide to earn the title of All-American commander. His hard work played an integral role helping the organization successfully remain focused on its service to veterans.
“Commanders like Jeff Henry are a fine example of VFW leadership, and it’s their hard work and dedication to the mission and values of our organization that has rightly earned them this great honor,” said VFW Membership Interim Director Corey Hunt.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is the nation’s largest and oldest major war veterans organization. Founded in 1899, the congressionally chartered VFW is comprised entirely of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, Guard and Reserve forces.
