VFW Post members around the world have been donating their time and effort to make masks for their community members across the world.
However, members from VFW Post 5867 in Lakeside, Calif., and VFW Post 3787’s Auxiliary in San Diego have taken it a step further. These VFW and Auxiliary members made masks for active-duty sailors in the area. Some 30 masks were made for sailors aboard the USS O’Kane (DDG-77).
In total, Post and Auxiliary members made 57 face masks in early April to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the spring 2020 pandemic.
