Iburg-Poulson VFW Post 8797

For almost 80 years, VFW Post 8797 has stood as a pillar in the Williamsburg community. We are more than just a post; we are a dedicated group of combat veterans from every generation—from the Greatest Generation to those recently returned from global conflicts.

Our mission is simple: Honor the dead by helping the living. Whether it’s supporting local veterans in need, hosting community events, or fostering the next generation of patriots through our youth scholarships, we remain committed to the values of service and sacrifice.

If you served in a foreign conflict and are looking for the camaraderie you left behind, or if you simply want to support the veterans in your backyard, you have a home here.
