Our Post newsletter, the Woodstock VFW News was founded in July 1955 by Don Peasley who was editor from 1955-2002. During this time, Don produced 564 issues of this monthly newsletter, capturing photos and stories of how Woodstock VFW Post 5040 played a role in the history of Woodstock. There were several major issues that were created as our Post reached milestones in its 60-plus year history, such as the 10-year anniversary, 25-year anniversary, etc.

All of the newsletters that Don produced while editor were in paper format. When Matt Klos took over as editor in 2002, both paper and electronic formats were generated. Paper copies are still sent to each member every month, and the electronic copy of the same paper is put on the VFW Post 5040 website for anyone to enjoy that has access to the internet.

Below are several milestone issues that were captured in the Woodstock VFW News in recent years. They contain many pictures and historical features that are only found in the papers themselves. Feel free to download and read.
