I joined my husband's family in celebration of his birthday. We had a late lunch at a local…read morerestaurant and convened here to continue the celebration. I have never been to a VFW, but found this location to be a fun and relaxing venue. I met a few veterans and their families who brought food for all to enjoy. Libations were offered at the bar at a reasonable cost. A band was scheduled to play at 7 pm, but I had to leave and didn't get to hear them. I'm sure they did a good job. Out of curiosity, I did a little research about this particular post and its namesake. I learned that the Harry E. Anderson Post 9545 Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States was established on July 19, 1947. Corporal Anderson was the first soldier in Will County Illinois to die during World War II. He was killed in Guam on December 7, 1941. On September 12, 1995, the post was completely destroyed by fire. However, plans to rebuild the it began almost immediately while trailers served as the temporary post. On November 19, 1996, the new building was completed and formally dedicated on January 11, 1997. VFW Post 9545 is one amongst approximately 9,000 posts worldwide. Its mission is to "honor the dead by helping the living" through veterans' services, community services, national security, and a strong national defense. Frankly, I'm impressed with the organization and its structure; specifically, VFW Post 9545. I took a photo of its organization chart. I'm an American who actually likes being an American. Yes, the country has its issues just like all countries. But the USA is my home

Great friendly bartenders, nice owners, free catered events, and Bingo night on Friday nights!…read more Woohooo! Happy to be an American Legion member!

This American Legion has a group of friendly and caring individuals who volunteer for various…read moreevents for our veterans. Whether it is Friday night bingo (a fundraising event), a dinner and music event, or visiting our veterans at the LaSalle County Veteran's Nursing Home, they always make time to serve the public and raise money or hold events in support of the USA military. This is a family friendly venue. Their building is somewhat outdated; however, they have been rehabbing for the past few years and have made pleasant updates. Their rental fees are reasonable and their prices on food, baked goods, alcohol, and dinner and dance tickets are reasonable as well. If you need to rent a place for a meeting, birthday party, family reunion, funeral dinner and the like, this Legion is perfect. I do not believe a large wedding party would benefit from the smaller building and since it is somewhat dated, you may not like the decor. The decor includes paneling from approximately the 1960s and numerous military photographs, prints, plaques, etc... I like the military history at the Legion and enjoy looking at the soldiers' uniforms, certificates and such. It has a small bar area with tables and chairs off of the kitchen and front room. There is a disability ramp outside as well as stairs and small deck. The large full kitchen would do well with the caterer of your choice. The American Legion has been an important member of the Marseilles community for numerous years due to dedicated volunteers from generations of local families. I highly reccomend their events!

I went with two over easy, bacon, seasoned potatoes and rye toast. This is one of those breakfasts I would personally describe as "art." Half credit to the chef, half to quality ingredients. As in spectacular bacon, and perfect potatoes. You don't have to be a member to dine/drink at this private club. Personnel are warm and helpful, they also have a fish fry on Friday nites, of course. Whether you served or not, go get served at the West Dundee VFW.

Can't think of a better way to spend Memorial Day than a pig roast at the Gary, IN American Legion…read more I wasn't sure if we'd get in since there's a giant sign on the door that says MEMBERS ONLY, but our buddy said ignore it. OK, we ignored it and walked right in. We were met with friendly smiles and the smell of roasted pig. Yum! We paid our $7 and grabbed a plate and a beer. The food was pot-luck style and delicious. Pork, turkey, chicken, noodles, all kinds of sides & desserts. Bottles of Bud Lite are $2 and we even saw a cute bulldog at the bar. You gotta love seeing pooches in a divey bar! After eating in the outdoor beer garden, we shot the breeze with the Vets and thanked them for their service. A nice afternoon all around.
