WELCOME TO MORLEY S OATES

We are here for you, and to serve all Veterans
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our Morley S Oates VFW Post 701, to become part of our elite group.  We serve all veterans in the greater Lansing area, and statewide. Our Post acts as a beacon to all veterans, and we offer veterans an opportunity  to come together and share in comradery.  At Post 701, we are a place to meet and hear news of other veterans, to socialize, and to reach out and make a difference in the community.  Our Honor Guard provides ceremonial final honors to our fallen comrades. If this sounds good to you, if you are interested in becoming a veteran that makes a difference, then join us. 

Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.
