The VFW is a nonprofit veterans service organization comprised of veterans and military service members. VFW Post 8180 is nam ... ed in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Lewis L Millett and the famous Korean War Battle of Bayonet Hill, where then Captain Millett earned his MOH. The Post was initially named Hill 180 Memorial Post, but the charter was changed in 2010 following Colonel Millett's death to rename the Post Colonel Lewis L Millett Hill 180 Memorial Post, thus maintaining the heritage of our original name while honoring the colonel. The Post is the largest in the Pacific and seventh-largest in the world with over 1900 members. It is dedicated to assisting local veterans, military, their family members, and the civilian population as well as remembering our fallen by leading and assisting in several memorial ceremonies every year in its area of responsibility from Osan Air Base up to Seoul. One of the longest continuously operating posts in Korea, Post 8180, started in 1964 (as Post 10216 chartered in December 1970). As one enters the Post, you will find an atmosphere that is friendly and comfortable with tables, a pool table, dart boards, the Canteen bar walls decorated with pictures of a Korea/military/Osan AB theme and shelves of military aircraft models. You will find special dedication walls to include the Tuskegee Airmen in honor of our own Tuskegee Airmen MSgt (Ret) James "Jim" Price, who unfortunately passed away on 20 Jul 2008. Jim was one of the founding members of the Post. In Feb 1998, VFW Post 10216 sponsored now-retired Colonel Millett's return to Korea for the very first time since that battle on Hill 180. He was invited as the guest speaker during the annual Hill 180 Memorial Ceremony, and on 6 Feb gave a most memorable and tear invoking speech.
