The VFW and the Smaller Banners: No Post Found, and the Memberships That Exist

each banner tested one by one · the neighbouring posts named

No Veterans of Foreign Wars post was found in Lakeville — and the township's VFW members demonstrably belong somewhere else. The test ran at search and locator strength: no VFW post, hall, or charter for Lakeville, Indiana, appears in any carrier read, and a Lakeville post number was never found to test further; the department's charter roll is the settler that could raise "not found" to "never chartered," and this section prints the finding at the strength it was made. What the record does show is where the township's foreign-war veterans actually hold membership: North Liberty Post 1954 above all — a Lakeville man's obituary carries lifetime VFW membership there, and a second Lakeville obituary names the same post — with Mishawaka Post 360, Plymouth Post 1162, and Bremen Post 8972 at pointer strength in the obituary record, the neighbouring posts of three towns in two counties absorbing this township's membership between them. South Bend's posts stand at pointer: Post 9820 on West Sample Street, and Post 8748, the SSG Justin D. Wisniewski Post, named for a South Bend soldier killed in Iraq in 2007 — the county's named-post tradition, printed because it is the form Post 363's own unnamed state is measured against. The remaining banners were each tested and each returned not found at search strength, printed one by one because a folded "none" would hide which tests ran: Disabled American Veterans — no Lakeville chapter; the nearest chapter is Marshall County Chapter 42 at Plymouth, carried here at snippet strength only, its one detail source being a page this build does not open, flagged for re-carry from another carrier before any other use; AMVETS — no Lakeville post found in the department's directory; Marine Corps League — no Lakeville detachment found in the league's listing; Vietnam Veterans of America — no Lakeville chapter found (the county's chapters are South Bend's and Mishawaka's); Korean War Veterans Association — no Lakeville chapter found; the 40 et 8 — no Lakeville voiture found. For each, "never chartered" is expressly not provable from search; each organisation's state charter roll is its named settler, and the file leaves the tests at the strength they were run.
