VFW Post 5225 Marion-W Memphis, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Post 5225 — West Memphis, AR. The post dates to 1921, when veterans home from the World Wars wanted a room of their own and a way to keep serving after the uniform came off.
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 first Thursday at 7:00 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 comrades stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — West Memphis, AR.

Notes from the first meeting
VFW Post 5225 Marion-W Memphis. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the post already knows. The comrades voted to keep the winter gift drive on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — West Memphis, AR. - Apr 9, 2026
Showing up for the winter gift drive — West Memphis
By spring the hall had the winter gift drive underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 5225 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 — West Memphis. - Aug 21, 2026
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 first Thursday at 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — West Memphis, AR.
