V.F.D. - List of V.F.D.s

List of V.F.D.s

The organization V.F.D. often uses the initialism "V.F.D." for events, projects, practices, objects, individuals, ideas, or other facets that characterize the larger organization itself. It is uncertain why such a multitude of meanings is employed for the initials, although it likely used to tip off V.F.D. members to the presence of fellow members or of V.F.D.-related activities, or perhaps to confuse outsiders as to the meaning of the true name of the organization itself.
