Commander Jerry Mollohan

Welcome to St. Albans, West Virginia's "All America" VFW Post 6418.
It was founded in St. Albans, West Virginia, on October 3, 1957.
 
The All-American program recognizes excellence in teamwork, leadership, and achievement within VFW programs, as well as membership growth.

Post 6418 Performance: The current membership percentage for VFW Post 6418 is 108.47%
(64 total members.)
 
We're on schedule to be awarded both "All-State" and "All-American." Let us "Stay the Course."
I encourage VFW Post 6418 veterans to get involved as our membership and activities grow in 2026. I strongly encourage you to help us with The Moving Wall, perhaps the most ambitious project our VFW Post has ever undertaken.


Review our new 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 done so 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! Make the most of it.
For the 2025–2026 VFW Administrative Year, we aim to recruit 100 new members. 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 for us based on membership input, now requires fewer than forty (40) additional members.

Meetings are held at 1011 Pennsylvania Ave. on the third Thursday of each month.
Next Meeting: February 19, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Arrive early for informal discussions.
