Welcome to Manuel Alvarado Post 9186 in South San Antonio in the Historic Mission District. The third Friday in September is recognized as POW/MIA Day, a time to remember the sacrifices of prisoners of war (POW) and servicemembers who are missing in action (MIA). Until 1979, there was no formal recognition day set aside for these important men and women in uniform. Commander Ralph Alvarado mentioned at the member's monthly meeting that our Post 9186 Service Officer Roberto Anguiano Jr. received an award at the state convention in Dallas. Comrade Anguiano received the Outstanding Post Service Officer of the Year award for the Department of Texas. Congratulations, Roberto Anguiano Jr., this well-deserved recognition! Having a good time at the flea market. VFW Post 9186 remembering Korean Armistice. VFW Post 9186 commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777.

Tragedy struck again in Beirut on October 23, 1983, when a suicide bomber drove a truck underneath the four-story building housing the U.S. Marine barracks and detonated 12,000 pounds of TNT. This armistice signed on July 27, 1953, formally ended the war in Korea. North and South Korea remain separate and occupy almost the same territory they had when the war began. Following World War II, in 1948, the Korea Peninsula was divided between a Soviet-backed government in the north and an American-backed government in the south. War broke out along the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950. On that day, North Korean troops coordinated an attack at several strategic points along the parallel and headed south toward Seoul.
