OFFICERS

"The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow."
 
The members of V.F.W. Post 4278 salute all our Past Post Commanders and commend them for their service to the Post, the members and to God and Country. 
 
All of you distinguished yourselves and the Post by the faithful servuce you rendered to the Post and to the communities if Camas and Washougal.
