by District 17
"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."

New I.R.S. Organizational Income Filing Requirement
Monday, June 2, 2008 at 11:16 AM
by District 17
The U S Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) now requires, under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, that
all tax-exempt organizations file income statements each year .
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.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Form 990N Declaration
Post ______does not have access to the Internet for Form 990N purposes.
Please file our Form 990N for us!

Unpaid Membership List
Wednesday, December 31, 1969 at 07:00 PM
by District 17
We now have the 2008/2009 unpaid membership lists. These lists contain the names and contact information of former members-at-large, Military Initiative Program members, relocated members, and prior unpaid members. The lists can be used by your post for recruiting purposes. All of these people were members of this organization at one time. With an invitation to your post, they may choose to become members again.
The lists can be emailed to you by contacting Department Membership Chairman Jason Schoolcraft at jschoolcraft@embarqmail.com . Compact discs with the lists are also available upon request. They are in Microsoft Excel, allowing you to filter the lists by city or zip code. If you do not have access to a computer and would like a paper copy of the lists call Jason at (910) 642-7105. He will print the lists for your city and surrounding areas and get them to you.
