VFW Post #2438 — Bay City, TX. Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Post 2438, meeting — Bay City, TX.
- VFW Post #2438
- Bay City, TX
In 1962 a handful of veterans chartered Post 2438 — Bay City, TX. From that first meeting the post grew into a hall that still marks the year with a memorial service, a community project, and a table full of people who know one another’s stories.
People point to the post for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Bay City. The comrades would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says the second Tuesday at 7:00 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the post writes its own — Bay City, TX.

Showing up for the spring scholarship — Bay City
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 2438 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Bay City.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the post looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is the second Tuesday at 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — Bay City, TX.
