Take a look at what Ecker-Haupt Post 5635 looked like years ago.

From this simple building to the additions and pavilion you see today, the VFW has grown right along with our community. Improvements have been made, but the mission has always stayed the same, supporting our veterans and bringing people together.

It’s amazing to see how far it’s come. 🇺🇸

81 years ago today, six brave Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. It has become one of the lasting and most powerful images of World War II.

Today, we honor all the heroes who served in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
