Beyond the Battlefield: Collierville's VFW Post 5066 & Auxiliary

About this event

September 15 - November 21, 2026

Stepping far beyond the front lines, this temporary exhibition honors a nearly century-long legacy of local veterans who transitioned from serving their country to anchoring their community. Since establishing their South Center Street headquarters in 1945, the post and its Auxiliary have transformed into a vital neighborhood lifeline, offering everything from expert VA claim assistance to the simple, powerful camaraderie of "Coffee with a Veteran" gatherings. Their impact stretches well into the present day through hands-on outreach, whether they are providing for families in need or conducting solemn flag retirement ceremonies for the town. By weaving together archival milestones with modern stories of brotherhood and sisterhood, the display pays tribute to a dedicated group that ensures no local veteran ever has to walk alone.
