Joint Munitions Command supports 125th VFW National Convention

Annually, thousands of Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary delegates convene for a weeklong gathering, representing the organization’s combined membership of over 1.4 million.

A few members of the Joint Munitions Command’s Munitions Logistics Distribution Division attended the 125th annual VFW National Convention, which was held in Louisville, Kentucky, and took place at the end of July.

Headquartered at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois, JMC — in conjunction with the Army-Tank-automotive and Armaments Command — provides blank ammunition and clips free of charge to Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, American Legions, Disabled American Veterans chapters, and the Marine Corps League.

Along with other Veterans’ organizations and law enforcement agencies, ceremonial ammo is used while performing military funeral honors, in parades, and other events.
