The department and national listings as searched, November 2026; each line at its own strength

The Veterans of Foreign Wars: no post seated in Roseland was found at listing strength; the county's posts at pointer are South Bend's — Post 9820 (Linden Avenue, named independently in the Tribune's 2026 Memorial Day roundup) and the Golden Hill Post 8748 (Johnson Street) — and the department roster is the settler for the absolute claim (G-MEM-2). The smaller banners were tested one by one, never folded together, and each returns the same shape of answer — a county seat in South Bend, nothing in Roseland: the Disabled American Veterans' county chapter is Chapter 39 "White Eagle," South Bend; the Marine Corps League's is the St. Joseph Valley Detachment, South Bend (Parry Street, its own site and the federal listing agreeing); the Vietnam Veterans of America's is South Bend Chapter 1027; AMVETS' is Post 66, South Bend. For the rest, the searches found no county seat at all, which prints as searched and no further: the Korean War Veterans Association surfaced only Fort Wayne and Central Indiana chapters; the Jewish War Veterans surfaced no Indiana post (the weakest line of the set — its settler, a find-a-post run, is named in the pass note); the Navy Club's national ship roster of June 2025, in the excerpts returned, lists no South Bend or Roseland ship; and no 40 et 8 voiture locale for this county was found. Each banner's charter roll is its settler (G-MEM-3). A town of 854 with thirty-seven living veterans is a membership, not a post town — its veterans' institutional life runs through South Bend, as its church life and its burying have always run through other places' institutions at its edges.
