It all started in 1946, when 15 World
War II veterans met at the home of Anders Iverson. That day they
discussed the importance of forming a new veterans organization in
Cedar Falls. The Amvet Post is a result of that meeting. Their first
meeting place was at the Woodman Hall in downtown Cedar Falls. In
1950, the post was the 7th largest Amvet Post in the
nation. Today the Guy W. Iverson Amvet Post 49 is the largest Amvet
Post in the State of Iowa. They currently have 1476 members in the
Post (including The Ladies Auxiliary, Sons of Amvets and Jr. Amvets).
Over the past 62 years the Amvets has
been supporting our boys in service, our fire station, Sartori
Memorial Hospital, March of Dimes and many more community events
through their countless fundraisers.
The Guy W. Iverson Amvet Post is also the home to the Ladies
Auxilary, Sons of Amvets and the Junior Amvets. The Guy W Iverson
Amvet Post 39 is located at 20th and Irving Streets in
Cedar Falls Iowa
