Traditions of Hershey welcomes President of the PA VA Auxillary!
Traditions of Hershey had the pleasure of giving a tour to VFW Auxiliary Jr. Past Department President Valerie Decorte.
Valerie recently returned from a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, where she attended the 124th VFW National Convention. This important meeting brings together thousands of VFW and Auxiliary delegates to approve new national priorities that will guide the organization as it lobbies Congress on issues important to the nation’s veterans, service members, and their families.
She is a lifetime member of the VFW Auxiliary to SPC Ross A. McGinnis Post 2145 through the eligibility of her late husband, Master Sgt. David DeCorte, who honorably served his country in the U.S. Army for 26 years.
Valerie has held many positions within the VFW Auxiliary at the district level, serving as secretary, junior vice president, District 19 president from 2015-2020, and chairman for many national programs.
On June 11, 2022, in Lancaster, she was elected department president at the 98th annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Auxiliary Department of Pennsylvania.
