Veterans of Wars All-American Post 10904

 

Welcome to your online resource for everything related to our VFW Post... and there's a lot! We're comprised of eligible veterans of overseas combat areas and our family members, who serve as our Auxiliary. The Post and Auxiliary work seamlessly to accomplish incredible things together.

We meet at the Coffee County Veterans Building: 130 Shelton Road in Manchester, Tennessee; on the first Monday of each month (except for December). Free dinner begins at 6 PM, followed by our meeting. The Veterans Building is a tobacco and alcohol-free facility, although a covered smoking area is provided. This creates a clean, relaxed place of military honor. Our meetings are well-attended, lively and informative.

If you meet eligibility requirements, you'll find no better VFW Post in Tennessee than right here! Life Membership in VFW pays for itself with the incredible benefits members enjoy... but the best part is the camaraderie we share together. We all get along, form lasting relationships and truly care about one another here... and have fun serving veterans, their families and our community!

This short introductory video is a little dated and, while an update is in the works, it sums up who were are and what makes us so different. For the latest information and news, visit our Post 10904 Facebook Page using the icon in the upper left, or lower right, corner of the page!
