Veterans of Foreign Wars is organized into state Departments; and then into regional Districts that support the individual Posts in that region. In VFW’s 125-year history, no District consisting of ten Posts had ever earned the distinction of having every Post earn the coveted VFW All-American Post designation in the same year. It was said to be as impossible as lightning striking twice in the same place.
The VFW All-American Post designation goes to top-performing VFW Posts globally to recognize those who achieve the absolute highest standards, including exceptional support for veterans, their families, and the communities they serve. These posts are considered the very "best of the best" throughout Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Last year, the impossible happened in Middle Tennessee when retired Navy Chief Petty Officer Kimberly King led all ten area VFW Posts in Tennessee’s District 5 to earn the All-American Post designation, making Commander King an “Ace” District Commander.
This year, lightning struck twice… again. For the second consecutive year, all ten Posts in District 5 have, through the hard work and personal sacrifice of their members, again earned VFW’s All-American Post designation, making Kimberly King Tennessee's first Double-Ace or “Deuce” District Commander.
Kimberly King is also Commander of Manchester’s VFW Post 10904, which has now earned the VFW National All-American Post designation for a record-shattering 6th year in a row. She was elected District Commander by members of the District’s ten Posts in 2022; again in 2023; and has coached them to unprecedented success with the fiery, positive enthusiasm for which she is so admired and respected.
