Members of VFW Post 7447 visited the Fisher House at Dover Air Force base and donated two checks to the Fisher House for Families of the Fallen March 18. One of the checks was from the post and another check was from the men’s auxiliary.

The Fisher House Program is private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of the men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond those that are normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

The Fisher House houses families of fallen veterans during the dignified transfer of serviceman at Dover Air Force. The Fisher House also has a separate Mediation Center for Families of the Fallen to find quiet times during their stay.
