VFW Post 1469 Nathan Hale Post

Welcome to VFW Post 1469 Nathan Hale Post

Our Charter was first established on Oct. 14, 1926. The installation of officers was held at the South Side Civic Hall. The Chairman of the evening was the Commander of VFW Post 516 Frederick H. Boyd. Edward Johnston was installed as the first Commander of VFW Post 1469. In 1931 John P. Swezey spearheaded the negotiations to purchase the Community House on School St. to become the Post's first home. It was originally built for a school and was used for that purpose until the completion of the Roosevelt school on Lowndes ave. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Nathan Hale Post was Instituted  on Jan. 21, 1927 Madam President Vera E. Tewey was the first Ladies Auxiliary President. With the expansion of the population and urban development, the Town of Huntington bought the property and it became a municipal parking lot. Ground broke at 210 West Pulaski Road, our present location in 1955 with Wolfgang Nauke as the new post first Commander.

About Us


The purpose of this corporation shall be fraternal, patriotic, historical,charitable and educational; To preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; To assist worthy comrades; To perpetuate the memory and history of our dead and to assist their widows and orphans; To maintain true allegiance to the Government of the United States of America and fidelity to its Constitution and laws; To foster true patriotism; To maintain and extend the institutions of American Freedom and to preserve and defend the United States from all her enemies, whomsoever.

There is a common bond that exists between those who have shared the military experience and that bond is even greater among those in combat. There is a shared sense of duty and common belief in a cause higher than oneself. Today's veterans choose to serve and by doing so, assume all risk associated with preserving freedom at home and abroad. VFW members understand the true essence of America and the ideals of democracy for all. There is a sign in our Post "Don't mind what it cost to be a member, remember what it cost to be eligible".
