Commander's Corner

Commander Bruce Kimbrell

Welcome to VFW Post 4190, Lanier-Hine Post. Whether you’re a longtime member, a new face, or a veteran just stopping by to see what we’re about, we’re glad you’re here.


Our Post is built on camaraderie, service, and taking care of one another. From supporting local veterans and their families to honoring those who came before us, Post 4190 remains active and engaged in our community. Events like Wreaths Across America at Roselawn Cemetery, holiday outreach for local veterans, and Post gatherings such as the Army–Navy game watch are just a few ways we bring veterans and the community together.


Looking ahead, I encourage you to check our events calendar and join us for upcoming activities, meetings, and volunteer opportunities. Whether you have an hour to give or want to get more involved, there is a place for you here. Strong Posts don’t happen by accident — they happen because members show up, pitch in, and support one another.


Thank you for being part of Post 4190. I look forward to seeing you at the Post.


Yours in comradeship,

Bruce Kimbrell
