WELCOME TO CHARLES NITTERHOUSE POST 1599

Our Mission Support our Veterans

The VFW traces it's 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. There was no medical care or veterans' pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves.
In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations that would eventually become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.
 
OUR MISSION
To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans.
 
OUR VISION
Ensure that veterans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.
 
OUR CORE VALUES
Always put the interests of our members first.
Treat donors as partners in our cause
Promote Patriotism
Honor military service
Ensure the car of veterans and their families
Serve our communities
Promote a positive image of the VFW
Respect the diversity of veteran opinions

 

 


Announcements

Attention All VFW Members and Guests

VFW Post 1599 Goes Non-Smoking

 

Effective September 1, 2025, VFW Post 1599 will be a non-smoking facility.

This action was approved by the Home Association Board of Directors and the Post Board of Officers

and is primarily based on a survey of veterans who are Post 1599 members who

overwhelmingly approved of going non-smoking and desire to have a clean and

healthy environment in the Post.

The non-smoking rules apply to all forms of tobacco smoking to include vaping, e-cigarettes, etc.

Smokers are invited to use the covered canopy area on the Stanley Street side entrance.

A reminder that according to PA state laws, alcoholic beverages purchased in the

Post must be consumed inside of the building proper.
