ABOUT HONOR:
  
 
“Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would gladly yield every honor which has been accorded me in war”.
  
 
- Douglas MacArthur
 
     
  “A man has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable or dangerous to do so”.  
 
- Walter Lippmann
 
     
   
     
     
 
VFW Post 2502 proudly carries the name of Lucian R. Lovewell, a courageous army private from South Lyon, Michigan who was mortally wounded during the first world war. He was laid to rest in France, as his death came before the time when the United States government began transferring the bodies of fallen soldiers back from the places in which they died. Although he is long since gone, his legacy lives on in the South Lyon VFW post.  
 
Today, post 2502 is stronger than ever and even more involved in our community than in years past. We have a growing VFW membership and we are also home to the Women's Auxillery and the American Legion, who host many regular events here at the post.
