Welcome to St. Albans, West Virginia, home of the "All America.”
VFW Post 6418 was established on October 3, 1957.
The All-American program recognizes outstanding teamwork, leadership, achievement, and membership growth in VFW Programs, and Post 6418 is excelling. Right now, VFW Post 6418 has 70 members with an impressive 118.64% membership rate. Annual Members are encouraged to upgrade to Life Membership—there are already 47 Life Members. Life Members can also consider moving up to Gold Legacy Life Membership by visiting vfw.org to manage renewals or upgrades. With steady growth, St. Albans VFW Post 6418 is well on its way to earning both.
"All-State” and "All-American” honors.
VFW Post 6418 is on the rise, and we’re welcoming more veterans to join our expanding membership, activities, and community outreach. Our biggest project so far, The Moving Wall, needs extra hands and support. We’re raising funds to cover insurance, materials for the platform that will hold the panels, and transportation costs. You can also help out by purchasing gun raffle tickets or lending a hand with ticket sales.
Take a look at the VFW Post 6418 website and pitch in whenever possible. If you have questions, ideas, or need help and want to chat, don’t hesitate to reach out. VFW.org offers plenty of training and resources, so be sure to explore all that’s available on the VFW National Website.

The main rules for all St. Albans VFW Post 6418 activities come from the VFW National By-Laws and Manual of Procedure. The By-Laws lay out the basics, while the Manual of Procedure provides more detail. These guide everything the Veterans of Foreign Wars does and aren’t open to interpretation. They’re written plainly and mean exactly what they say.
Incoming officers of St. Albans VFW Post 6418 should refer to Section 218 of the Manual of Procedure, which details the responsibilities of each Post Officer.
Section 220 of the National By-Laws/Manual of Procedures, titled "Removal - Department," states that the Department Commander has the authority to remove any Post officer within their Department for cause if they fail to carry out their duties as outlined in Section 218.
