Our Headquarters

The Yutan Veterans Country Club is the headquarters of the VFW, American Legion, and the Legion Auxiliary.

Our Tank

This M60A3 tank sits in front of the Yutan Country Club. M60A3 tanks were in service in the U.S. Army from 1978 to 1997. Upgraded versions of the tank are still in use by a number of countries.

Country Club Mural

This is a portion of the mural that covers one wall at the Country Club It is a record of the history of the Yutan area and past wars.

Honor Guard

We partner with the Yutan American Legion to provide honor guards at the funerals of our veterans.

We Remember

Memorial Day Service

The Yutan VFW and American Legion provide a Memorial Day service at the Yutan cemetery.

Color Guard and Parades

The Yutan VFW and American Legion march each summer in the Yutan Days Parade. We also provide a color guards for Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and at High School sports events.

Buddy Poppies

The poppy has a very special meaning. In World War I, the battlefield was at times covered with beautiful red poppies. Buying a poppy is a way to honor the sacrifices our military made in past wars.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

We are here

Membership
