VFW Post 819 San Leandro Memorial
VFW Post #819 — San Leandro, CA. Service and a meeting hall — San Leandro.
- VFW Post #819
- San Leandro, CA
In 1944 a handful of veterans chartered Post 819 — San Leandro, CA. 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 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 — San Leandro, CA.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — San Leandro
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 819 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 — San Leandro.

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 — San Leandro, CA.
