- 4th Tuesday, 5:00 PM
In 1990 a handful of veterans chartered Detachment 430 — Corpus Christi, TX. From that first meeting the detachment grew into a hall that still marks the year with a memorial service, a community project, and a table full of people who know one another’s stories.
The work is ordinary and steady. A flag detail at a funeral. A winter drive that fills a corner of the hall with gifts. A scholarship evening where the members hand an envelope to a student and then go back to the coffee. None of it is loud. All of it is the point of the charter.
The regular meeting is 4th Tuesday, 5:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Corpus Christi, TX.

Notes from the first meeting
Coastal Bend #430. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the detachment already knows. The members voted to keep the spring scholarship on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Corpus Christi, TX. - Apr 9, 2026
Showing up for the spring scholarship — Corpus Christi
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 430 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Corpus Christi. - Aug 21, 2026
What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is 4th Tuesday, 5:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Corpus Christi, TX.
