Bialzak is an Army veteran, who is a founder of the Las Vegas VFW Post 12198 and an active member of numerous other veteran organizations. He became involved in the veteran’s community following a reunion of his unit from deployment where he learned his unit had sustained more casualties from suicide than from combat in Iraq. Following that day, he committed himself to ensuring his post would, “Not just be a post, but a family.”  He has been the lead coordinator for the Irreverent Warriors Silkies Hike in Las Vegas and helped the post recently adopt the 6th Combat Training Unit. Under his leadership, the post has volunteered in clean-up efforts for the Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Toys for Tots, and donation collections for refugees from Afghanistan.

If you have already submitted a request, you may need to wait longer than usual for someone to contact you.
