Let us "Stay the Course."
I encourage more VFW Post 6418 veterans to get involved as membership, activation, and activities expand. I strongly encourage all who can help with The Moving Wall, the most ambitious project VFW Post 6418 has ever undertaken. MAKE A DONATION.
Additional funds are needed immediately to cover insurance, materials for the platform that supports the panels, and transportation costs. Purchase gun raffle tickets and help with sales.
Review the VFW Post 6418 website and lend a hand whenever and wherever you can. If you have any questions or suggestions, or if you need help and would like to talk, please get in touch with me. You can find information about training and resources at VFW.org. Please familiarize yourself with all the training and resources available on the VFW National Website (VFW.org).
If you have not already, you will need to create an account. A "MY VFW" will be created specifically for each veteran with a VFW.org account.
Every time you visit the national website (VFW.org), you can go to "MY VFW"
for effortless access to everything, which is a lot!
For the 2025–2026 VFW Administrative Year, we aim to recruit 100 new members by
May 1, 2026. We can make it happen if we work together. I am counting on our members to bring in the necessary recruits. I know this can be accomplished. Reaching our target of 100 total members, a realistic goal based on membership input, now requires thirty-three (33) additional
members.
Meetings are held at 1011 Pennsylvania Ave. on the third Thursday of each month.
Next Meeting: April 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
Arrive early for informal discussions and 'The Moving Wall' Committee Meeting.

BYLAWS ARTICLE II - POSTS. Sec. 216 of the National Bylaws. VFW Post officer nominations are always held in March. Post 6418 nominations were held at the March 19, 2026, meeting. Their election for six elected positions is scheduled for April 16, 2026.
VFW Post 6418 Officer positions:
1) Commander
2) Senior Vice Commander
3) Junior Vice Commander
4) Quartermaster
5) Chaplain
6) 3-Year Trustee
The VFW 3-Year Trustee automatically progresses to become the next year's 2-Year Trustee, and the 2-Year Trustee automatically advances to the following year's 1-Year Trustee. This process is procedural, meaning they are not re-elected; they move down after finishing their term as the 3-Year Trustee. Sections 215-217 provide guidance.
The post newsletter was sent to all current members of VFW Post 6418 regarding nominations and elections for 2026-2027.
