Veterans of Foreign<br />
Wars Post 10965<br />
VFW was organized in 1899<br />
when men returning from the<br />
Spanish-American War (1898) and<br />
the Philippine Insurrection (1899-<br />
1902) found they had no benefits,<br />
rights or services — including no<br />
health care — for their service. The<br />
VFW mission is “to foster camaraderie<br />
among United States veterans<br />
of overseas conflicts. To serve<br />
our veterans, the military and our<br />
communities. To advocate on behalf<br />
of all veterans.” The VFW mission<br />
is to “Ensure that veterans are<br />
respected for their service, always<br />
receive their earned entitlements,<br />
and are recognized for the sacrifices<br />
they and their loved ones have<br />
made on behalf of this great country.”<br />
The Paso Robles VFW meets<br />
on first Wednesdays at the Veterans<br />
Center, 240 Scott Street, Paso<br />
Robles. Call 239-7370.<br />

Mighty Oaks Foundation<br />
Mighty Oaks Warriors programs<br />
were established in 2011 in Spring,<br />
Texas, by a family who found their<br />
struggles with the challenges of<br />
severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder<br />
(PTSD) were helped by their<br />
church pastor and mentors. Faithbased,<br />
intensive programs are led<br />
by experienced peers at SkyRose<br />
Lodge, north of San Miguel, plus<br />
other nationwide outposts.<br />
Men, women and couples<br />
share instructional sessions<br />
and enjoy camaraderie and<br />
team-building activities. Fully<br />
sponsored travel arrangements,<br />
meals and lodging help focus<br />
on recovery. Any current military<br />
members or veterans struggling<br />
with reintegration, PTSD or combat<br />
trauma who would like to<br />
rebuild their lives with strength,<br />
courage and purpose are encouraged<br />
to attend. Program<br />
alumni are encouraged to participate<br />
or help others. Visit Mighty<br />
