We Are America's Veterans

Our welcoming membership offers camaraderie in a family-friendly atmosphere. We encourage veterans and their families to participate in our activities.

 Post 115 Auxiliary is open to spouses, mothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters of AMVETS members living or any veteran who could have become a member of AMVETS but is now deceased. It is a distinct organization from Post 115 with whom we are proud to frequently partner.  

At many events, you will see both Post 115 members and Post 115 Auxiliary members. We combine to better serve Hays County and central Texas. 

Congratulations to Ladies Auxiliary 115 For Sweeping the Department of Texas awards at State convention in Waco, TX

Welcome! Located in Kyle, AMVETS Post 115 is a veterans support organization that proudly serves Hays County and central Texas. If you know or are a veteran who needs help, we are here for you. 

Every Saturday at 0800 (8am), the Post hosts a breakfast. This is the most efficient way to learn more about the Post and to meet current members.

We are very lucky to have generous sponsors (usually local businesses, charities, and/or first responders) who routinely cook breakfast for us. Thanks to all sponsors who help us better support Hays County veterans.

Post 115 also gives a SPECIAL THANKS to Kyle Donuts for donating donuts every week.

 In 1944, World War II veterans coming home wanted an organization of their own — one that would help the veteran help himself, keep the friendships made in service, and keep fighting for the ideals they had just defended. Eighteen leaders from nine veterans clubs met in Kansas   City, Missouri, and on December 10, 1944, they founded the American Veterans of World War II. Newspaper writers shortened the name. It stuck. AMVETS.
On July 23, 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed Public Law 216. AMVETS became the first World War II veterans organization chartered by Congress. The charter has been opened since then so membership includes everyone who is serving now, or who served honorably, from World War II to today — including the National Guard and Reserves.
That history still shows up in the numbers.
• More than 250,000 members nationwide
 

• More than $1.8 billion in VA benefits secured in a recent year for veterans AMVETS represents
 

• Free claims help — you do not have to be a member to get that assistance
 

• Open to all who served honorably, including Guard and Reserve
The mission has not changed: enhance and safeguard the entitlements of honorably served American veterans, and improve the quality of life for them, their families, and the communities where they live — through leadership, advocacy, and service.
Here in Kyle, that is Post 115. Saturday breakfast. Honor Guard and Taps. Rides to VA appointments. Blood drives. A chair at the table if you have never walked through the door before.
If you served honorably — or you are serving now — come join us. Annual membership is still $30. Life membership is available by age. The fastest way to start is Saturday breakfast at 8:00 AM. Bring your questions. Bring a friend. We will help you from there.
 

401   Veterans Drive,  Kyle, TX  ~ 737-266-9484   ~ Welcome home. Come join the Post. 

Whether you are a member or guest, veteran or not, this is our "home".   Let's treat it as such. 

Our post has been undergoing some recent building, cleaning and   other maintenance.   Please help us keep it clean and safe.
 

•  Please clean up after yourself.  
•  Please do not smoke in or near the post building.  
  
  • According to Texas law, it is an offense to smoke in an enclosed area      in a public building or within 15 feet from an entrance or openable window.
  • The Executive Committee suggests if you wish to smoke in front of the building stand at least 15 feet from the front door; and if in the rear stand beyond the outside dining area or in the BBQ smoker area.  

* ...  This is the regular greeting of Chris Calkins, our Post Commander, and it seems to be spreading.
