"Infantrymen who served in ground combat during World
War II between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945, are eligible to
apply for a Bronze Star Medal (BSM), according to the U.S. Army Human
Resources Command. Approval is virtually guaranteed for those recipients
of the Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) or the Combat Medic's Badge
(CMB). Army regulations that govern this award may be found in AR
600-8-22, Military Awards.

Next of kin may apply for the posthumous award(s). If the veteran has
previously received a BSM during combat for a specific act of bravery,
he or his next of kin is still eligible to apply for a BSM."

Here is how we will do it in the VFW Department of North Carolina.

1- If your post earns over $25,000 in gross income during your fiscal year, you must file an IRS Form 990 (which you should already have been doing, anyway!). Keep the same fiscal year you have been using in the past, be it the calendar year, the VFW accounting year (1 July-30 June) or the Department's fiscal year (1 June-31 May).

2 - If your post earns $25,000 or less each year, and you have access to the Internet, go to www.epostcard.form990.org/default.asp  where you will find instructions on how to login and file your own post Form 990N Electronic Postcard. You may use whatever fiscal year you want, but for simplicity purposes, we suggest 1 July-31 June, because 1 July is the date that you transfer your Post Dues Reserve each year to the Post General Fund, and that will remind you to file. The IRS Internet site will not let you file the Form 990N until after the end of your fiscal year.

3 - If your post earns $25,000 or less each year and you do not have access to the Internet, we will file your Form 990N Electronic Postcard for you. There is no paper form that you can file with the IRS.  If you do not file a Form 990 or 990N each year, your post will lose its tax-exempt status!!

Our address is P.O. Box 25337, Raleigh, NC 27611.

Our Department Chaplin John Negus and his wife, Marie were there as our guest speakers and reminded us how important we are and what a great impact we can have on our communities.

Once again our ladies did a superb job setting up the hall, accented with a very nice POW/MIA tribute. Linda Hamil gave a moving speech in remembrance of our American POW's and MIA's.

Thanks goes out to all who attended and helped make it a very successful day!
