John W. Rash Jr.- A Legacy of Service

The Heart of Post 9679

Upon its formation, John W. Rash Jr. became a cornerstone of the Post, eventually serving as a respected Post Commander. He was known throughout the region for his tireless work with numerous non-profit organizations, all sharing the common goal of promoting patriotism and giving back to the community.

The establishment of VFW Post 9679 was driven by local veterans seeking a permanent home to continue their mission of helping those who served. By dedicating our Post to John W. Rash Jr., we ensure that his extraordinary legacy of selfless service to the armed forces and the community lives on through every program, fundraiser, and event we host. We are proud to honor his memory and carry forward his commitment to service.
