Yesterday, the VFW National Council of Administration voted on and approved the decision to execute a business only, 122nd VFW National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri.  The vote came just one week after the VFW announced the impossibility of the event taking place at the Baltimore Convention Center in Maryland as originally planned, due to the coronavirus pandemic.  The 122nd VFW National Convention will take place July 31 – August 3, 2021.
