Our Leadership

Sandy Coor Post No. 1433 VFW

Glendale, Arizona

"The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow.”

At Sandy Coor VFW Post 1433, leadership is more than a title—it is a commitment to service, integrity, accountability, and setting the example for others to follow.

Our officers, Auxiliary leaders, committee members, and volunteers proudly continue the tradition of military service by leading through action, dedication, and community involvement.

  • Supporting veterans and military families

  • Strengthening our Post and community

  • Promoting patriotism and Americanism

  • Encouraging volunteerism and fellowship

  • Preserving the legacy of those who served before us

  • Ensuring responsible stewardship of the Post and its programs

We believe leadership is demonstrated through service to others and by creating a welcoming environment where veterans, families, and community members feel respected and valued.
