 Welcome to the
Van Meter Post #403 web site.

Post 403 is a non-profit 501(c) (19) veterans organization. We serve the communities of Booneville, DeSoto, Van Meter, and West Des Moines with additional members from Adel, Waukee, and Winterset – all in central Iowa. The Post revitalized in 2003 and has increased its’ membership from 29 in 2003 to 89 in 2012. We hope you like our website and will visit it often.

We currently are in a fundraising effort to construct a Veteran’s Reception / Community / Post building that will serve the families and communities of our area AND the families of all veterans utilizing the Iowa State Veterans Cemetery near Van Meter. Please check out our Building and Land Fundraiser page for details on this project. We would like to thank everyone who has already contributed already and those who will be contributing.
