Post 1981 meets in the Madera Veteran's Memorial Hall. Thursdays at 8PM. The hall is available to the public and many groups take advantage of the meeting space.
The following appeared in the Jan. 22, 1936 edition of the Madera Mercury,
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States last night instituted the new Madera post which will be known as the Corporal Herbert E. Macon Post Number 1981, in honor of the son of Horace Macon. Corporal Herbert E. Mason saw action in the battles of the Marne and Chateau Thierry. It is believed he was the first boy from Madera County to give his life in battle for his country's honor during the World War.
The officers elected last night to serve during the ensuing year are: Commander John R. Splies; senior vice-commander, M. B. O'Meara; junior vice-commander Robert Medler; chaplain, Harry Anderson; quarter-master George D. McDonough; officer-of-the-day, Homer Hogans; trustees, F Sharp, James F. Murphy, and John Pimental.
