History of the Post
VFW Post 12196 was Chartered on January 19, 2020. The Charter came about following three months of work by Gerald Decker and Don Spaulding to round up public awareness and the required membership necessary to start a new post. By early Jan. we had rounded up 39 members total, including 14 new members. State Commander Craig Armstrong and staff were on hand for the Charter ceremony which was well attended by members and the public.
As the post began to prepare itself for the work of a smooth-running VFW post, the Covid-19 pandemic hit. It has significantly affected our progress to grow and implement necessary programs. However, we are not deterred in our pursuit of excellence as a voice of veterans in the North Brunswick County area.
