Welcome To Our Post Home Website!
Capt. John L. Weeks VFW Post 3142 was established on March 6th, 1941, with James F. Pitts as the first appointed Commander. There was no Auxiliary until 1949, when President Audrey Hanna served with Commander John Kahrs.
In the following years, the Post and Auxiliary members worked very hard to serve the military members, veterans, and the Charleston community. Through the newspapers, radio and television, they kept the public informed about what America could and should mean to them. It was important to start this with the youth of our country. Since this time, VFW Post 3142 has become a major contributor to the community through many avenues and associations. Our post is constantly visited by Comrades from other post homes, and we always go out of our way to make them feel at home.
Some of the programs we support, and how we support them, are:
AMERICANISM -
Flag etiquette, patriotic instruction, the importance of voting, proper presentation of the flag.
Buddy Poppies -
Members sell the Buddie Poppies made by disabled veterans with all proceeds going to assist their needs.
Cancer Aid & Research -
Our members participate in numerous fund raisers and other associated programs.
Voice of Democracy -
We sponsor a contest in local high schools, where students write essays on given topics. Judging is on a local, district, state, and national levels. Prizes of money, trophies, and certificates, are given on each level.
Our Post members are also involved in numerous community activities including sponsored Patriotic marches, entering floats in local parades, donating food and clothing to the less fortunate at Christmas time, participating in the annual March of Dimes Telerama, and many, many other organizations. Post 3142 is definitely a VFW post home with members who care about their veterans and active duty military members, and we invite YOU to stop by and visit our home!

It seems that our guestbook was vandalized by some jokesters putting an enormous amount of childish posts causing the guestbook program to lock up. For this reason, I have been forced to remove the guestbook
feature from our site until another format can be obtained. My thanks to whoever it is that continues to ruin it for the good folks! God is watching!
