Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States
VFW Post 101 Lt Marion L Willis
VFW Post #101 — Colorado Spgs, CO. Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Post 101, meeting — Colorado Spgs, CO.
- VFW Post #101
- Colorado Spgs, CO
In 1930 a handful of veterans chartered Post 101 — Colorado Spgs, CO. From that first meeting the post 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.
Over the years the post has taken on the jobs a town actually asks for: rides to a clinic, a meal after a funeral, help with a ramp, a speaker for a school program. The comrades keep a notebook of what got done and what is still open, and they read it aloud before the meeting adjourns.
The regular meeting is the third Wednesday at 6:30 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 comrades stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Colorado Spgs, CO.

Showing up for the spring scholarship — Colorado Spgs
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 101 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 — Colorado Spgs.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the post 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 the third Wednesday at 6:30 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — Colorado Spgs, CO.
