Old Stone Fort Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10904 was chartered in January 1990. The Post later became part of the Coffee County Veterans Association (CCVA), comprised of delegates from American Legion Post 78; DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Tennessee Chapter 90; and VFW Post 10904. CCVA takes care of shared responsibilities, such as liability insurance on our many public events; and utilities and maintenance of the Coffee County Veterans Building at 130 Shelton Road in Manchester, Tennessee. All three veterans organizations meet in this building, which is a showcase of military history and patriotic exhibits.

In 2021 under the leadership of Commander Kimberly King, VFW Post 10904 became the first Tennessee VFW Post in history to earn the coveted All-American Post designation for three consecutive years. The All-American Post distinction is awarded to top-performing VFW Posts: All-American Posts are considered the "very best of the best". Year after year, we shattered our own records with award after award. By 2026, VFW Post 10904 had earned the All-American Post designation for eight consecutive years; the VFW Tennessee All-State Post designation for nine consecutive years; the VFW Tennessee Community Service Award nine years; and four VFW National Awards of Merit.

In March 2026, VFW Post 10904 was honored to receive the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award as the top-performing nonprofit organization in the East Tennessee region. Only one nonprofit, from each of Tennessee's three Grand Regions (East, Central, and West) can receive this award in any one year. For a VFW Post, of any size, to receive an award of this magnitude is evidence of our drive to serve veterans, their families, and our community we so love.

The 2026 All-American Celebration: it was a hoot! It was a nanny! It was a hootenanny! To celebrate our 8th VFW National All-American Post Award in a row, we had a blow-out event in a patriotic America 250 theme... complete with live music, a catered meal, and awards for outstanding performance. Junior Vice Commander Christie Conlee did an incredible job as Master of Ceremonies for the celebration.

Among those honored with the VFW Exemplary Service Awards were Sandra Bennett of the Coffee County Historical Society for her efforts organizing the America 250 events for Coffee County; Charles “David” King for his superb work with the Post Auxiliary, as well as other veterans organizations, since 2018; and John Maier with VFW Department of Tennessee, who was honored for his dedicated service despite suffering with major health issues.

The Post Commendation Award, the highest award a Post member can receive, was given to James L. Massingille for his exceptional volunteer work with the Post. Betty L. Hamry received the VFW Post Auxiliary’s Member of the Year Award.

We're already rolling up our sleeves and getting to work for this next year!
