Warbirds & Whiskey was created by District 1 Commander Terry D. Stinson, who served as the commander of the Ward Roney Jr. VFW Post 7511 for three years prior to his move to the commander position at VFW District 1, Department of Washington. In alignment with Stinson’s broadened role within the VFW organization, Warbirds & Whiskey seeks to generate unwavering support for the combat veterans of Snohomish County while boosting overall awareness of VFW District 1’s important work.
“Events like Warbirds & Whiskey do more than just support the veterans who call Snohomish County their home,” Commander Stinson said. “They also send a clear, resounding message to veterans currently serving and those considering service, that their selfless sacrifices on behalf of our country are appreciated, valued, and cherished.”
