Bishop Celebrates VFW Loyalty Day

Albany, GA – Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-2) today celebrated the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Loyalty Day at VFW Post 2785 along with Mayor Adams and other distinguished guests.

Congressman Bishop thanked the assembled Veterans and their families for their dedication and their service to the community and the country.

“America cannot thank you enough for your selfless contributions,” said Congressman Bishop. “And I cannot thank you enough for your unfaltering dedication. Many of you here today have fought for, won, and helped preserve the freedom that we all enjoy today. The military is part of the foundation of freedom; my colleagues and I in Congress are the trustees.”

“As such, I pledge to do my dead-level best to leave this world better than I found it, safe for your children, your grandchildren, and the many generations yet to come. Your service is vital to our community, our state, and our country as a whole.”

Congressman Bishop is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Co-Chair of the Congressional Military Family Caucus. He has also served on the House Veterans Affairs Committee.

The VFW is an organization of war veterans committed to ensuring rights, remembering sacrifices, promoting patriotism, performing community services, and advocating for a strong national defense.

In 1914, two organizations merged to form the VFW of the United States: the American Veterans of Foreign Service and the National Society of the Army of the Philippines. Both original organizations were founded in 1899. In 1936, the VWF received a Congressional Charter.
