Never forgotten: VFW commander shares memories

Farmersville VFW Post 7426 has one main mission in life: to make sure veterans and active duty personnel aren’t forgotten.

This charge is currently being led by new Post Commander Brian Chapman.

“If you aren’t seen, you’re going to be forgotten,” Chapman said.

The new post commander, along with other VFW Post members, make it a priority to make sure that doesn’t happen. Often seen in the community as ‘just a bar,’ Chapman said that isn’t the case at all.
