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!

June 13 - Flag Retirement Ceremony
The American Legion’s annual Flag Retirement Ceremony is currently scheduled for Saturday, June 13th at 12 PM, at the Coffee County Veterans Building: 130 Shelton Road in Manchester. All members of the public, especially school age students, are encouraged to attend to learn more about our American Flag; and why old flags are ceremonially destroyed, with dignity and honor, according to prescribed ritual.
The ceremony is traditionally held on or near June 14th, which is Flag Day – a holiday set aside for Americans to celebrate our national colors, the Stars & Stripes, in defense of which over a million men and women have sacrificed their lives.
This is a great time to replace any worn, faded, frayed or otherwise unserviceable flag with a new one. In addition to your own, look around you for any neighbors who may be sick or elderly: and offer to replace theirs as well.
The American Flag, by law, is never to be thrown away in the trash! NEVER! The Coffee County Veterans Building has an outdoor receptacle in which old flags may be deposited year-round. There are also flag retirement receptacles at Manchester Fire Station #2 (across from the Recreation Center); the Coffee County Courthouse (Fort Street entrance); and the Coffee County Administrative Plaza outside the executive offices and the Coffee County Hall of Veterans. Your local veterans’ organizations, led by the American Legion, store the flags for annual retirement. We hope you and your family will join us for this educational event.
