VFW Post 7439 Cochran-Roberts
VFW Post #7439 — Indian River, MI. A post since 1935 — Indian River, MI.
- VFW Post #7439
- Indian River, MI
In 1935 a handful of veterans chartered Post 7439 — Indian River, MI. 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.
People point to the post for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Indian River. The comrades would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
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 — Indian River, MI.

Showing up for the spring scholarship — Indian River
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 7439 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 — Indian River.

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 — Indian River, MI.
