Veterans of Foreign Wars, for 125 years, are defenders of freedom from yesterday and today.  We are a non-profit 501 (c) (19) organization. We often gather at the foot of Diamond Head in Waikiki at Elks Lodge 616 serving our fellow veterans, nation, and our community. There are no strangers here, only comrades you haven't met. Visitors are welcome.  Join our group.  f
