Sullivan VFW Post #2459 Tornado Relief Fund

On March 31, 2023, an EF-3 tornado destroyed 200 buildings in Sullivan County, Indiana, one of which was Sullivan VFW Post #2459. The building at 201 W. Illinois St., Sullivan, IN had served as the home for Sullivan County VFW members for nearly 40 years. It proudly displayed an iconic symbol of Sullivan, a UH-1 Huey helicopter, which had flown in the Vietnam War and was subsequently flown by three Sullivan VFW Post #2459 members during their service in the Indiana Army National Guard. The Sullivan VFW has had a rich history of supporting local veterans that served in every armed conflict from WWII to the Global War on Terror, as well as, serving the local community as a whole.

100% of proceeds from this relief fund will be utilized to aid in uninsured recovery efforts and to hopefully get a new helicopter display.
