WELCOME TO MAYAGUEZ MEMORIAL VFW POST 11575

Serving U.S. Veterans Throughout Cambodia
Mayaguez Memorial VFW Post 11575 is dedicated to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who fought and supported "The Last Battle", the American effort in May 1975 to free the S.S. Mayaguez and its crew from the Khmer Rouge.  The first and only VFW post in a former Communist country, our post is unique in its location, membership and mission. One of our top priorities is to ensure a full accounting and recovery of our comrades who are still listed as MIA.  We invite all American veterans to join us in our mission.

Have you ever been talking to someone and wished you had something to give them so they can follow up? Now you do. The Mayaguez Memorial VFW Post 11575 has purchased clear plastic business cards with a QR code linking to the VFW Cambodia Facebook page. Pick some up at the next General Membership Meeting, or let the leadership know you'd like some to pass around but you can't make it to Phnom Penh.

 
We have also purchased Bumper Stickers that your favorite places can proudly display and attract attention of fellow veterans. Ask if you can take a picture of the bumper sticker being displayed. Send the pic to info@vfw11575.org  That's free advertising for them.


 
Check out the Veterans Discount page.

Post leadership and members have been busy finding businesses in Phnom Penh, Kampot and Siem Reap willing to provide discounts to our members. Just show your Card, real or digital, and get as much as 20% off.

And if your favorite business is somewhere that your Comrades might like, ask if they would be willing to give us a discount in exchange for being listed on the page. Remind the businesses that we have members all over the world, and when they come to town, they would prefer places that are already recommended by other members. Places that might work well:
 
  •  Yoga Studios
 
  • Restaurants & Bars
 
  • Hotels
 
  • Auto Repair

  • Barber and Beauty Shops
  • Martial Arts Training

 
 
  • Doctors and Dentists
  • Insurance Brokers and Financial Services
 
 
  • Banks
  • Electronics Sales &  Service
 
 
  • Travel & Visa Agents
  • Gym Memberships
 
 
   

 
Once you find a willing participating business, just let the Someone from the Chain of Command know.




The next Post meeting will be Saturday, November 14 at 1700 (5 PM) at:
 

Hotel Cambodiana Logo
 
        313 Sisowath Quay, Chakto Mukh, Doun Penh,
         Phnom Penh 120207, Kingdom of Cambodia
