Welcome to John S. Stewart VFW Post 1 - the first of many

John S. Stewart Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post #1, the oldest and first VFW Post in the country, was founded in 1899 by Veterans of the Spanish American War. Since then, the Post has served as both the national headquarters for the organization as well as the headquarters for the Department of Colorado. In the past year, the Post has undergone tremendous change and the future promises many opportunities for participation and service to all Veterans. The long-term goals of the Post are to increase visibility of the Post, provide greater service and support to the community as a whole and promote the ideals of the VFW organization.
