The Blue Star Mothers Chapter 3 of North Jersey and our Washington Elm VFW Post 192 (Ridgewood--Ho-Ho-Kus)have taken the lead and we as a District passed a District Resolution supporting them in working hard for the passage of the Honor and Remember Flag as an official NJ Flag. On November 19, 2012 Governor Christie signed the A-2029 bill into law, so NJ is the 14th State in the Union to have the Honor and Remember Flag as an official State Flag (http://www.honorandremember.org/). Thank you to all of you who contacted our representatives when we asked. "'We can never give enough thanks to those who place their lives on the line, making the ultimate sacrifice, nor to the families they leave behind forever grieving', says BeBe Winans. 'The meaning and purpose of Honor and Remember, fits perfectly into this tribute which directly affects every American. '""BeBe has written a tremendous song that speaks directly to our mission of public appreciation of sacrifice. It is our hope that millions of Americans will be touched by this inspirational message and find their own ways of being thankful for the sacrifice that has preserved our freedom."

President’s message…
Congratulations to all of our Ladies Auxiliary Sisters who were asked to fulfill the themes of our National President to be “Serving from the heart for our Veterans.” and our Department President to “Saluting Our Veterans, Supporting Our Troops.” Together District 2 Sisters always met the needs of our veterans. Your dedication provided the momentum to keep everyone involved with our programs. You worked hard to keep the Ladies Auxiliary visible in your community. You were diligent in your efforts to keep membership strong. For the third consecutive year District 2 is 100% in membership and we signed up 56 new members and 11 reinstates!
I wish to thank the Paramus Post for hosting our 68th Annual Convention. I also wish to thank the Elmwood Park Memorial Post 5084 for hosting the Ladies Auxiliary District 2 Meetings, the President’s official visit, and for all the courtesies you extended to me.

The VFW National Home for Children serves as a living memorial to America’s veterans by helping our nation’s veteran and military families. Since its founding in 1925, the VFW National Home for Children has grown from an old frame farm house to a sprawling campus with playgrounds, park areas, and multiple buildings, including single-family homes, a community center and gymnasium, child care center, guest lodge, chapel and administrative offices. The National Home’s services have also evolved to meet the changing needs of America’s military and veterans’ families. Through our Helpline and our on-campus programs, we are able to help families and children through times of crisis, both here on our beautiful campus and in their own communities nationwide.
