Our Post was chartered on June 19, 1947. Along with our Auxiliary we are involved in many projects and activities that provide services to our local community, youth and veterans. As you browse the pages of this site you will see an array of services that we provide.
We have a very diverse group of veterans and are very proud of them all.

Floyd E. Breedlove was born in Katy, Texas, to J. Edson and Ethel Breedlove in January 1917. His father, Edson, worked as a mechanic at a garage in town. Edson passed away in 1929, leaving his mother, Ethel, to raise Floyd and his sister, Olive. They lived and grew up in what is now considered "Old Katy” and attended public schools, with Floyd graduating from Katy High School in 1934.
VFW Post 9182 meetings are held at the post on the first Monday of the month. If a holiday falls on that day, the meeting will be held on Tuesday. You can keep up to date by assessing our Calendar and Command Year Meeting Schedule found on our admin page.
The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived, home, wounded or sick, and were left to care for themselves.
We would love to have you join our VFW family. Gain camaraderie and access to the vast network of resources that comes with being part of the nation’s largest group of combat veterans. Get assistance securing the benefits and compensation you’ve earned with the help of our Service Officer. So, sign up now!
