Who was Robert E. Laing?
Born 11 Aug 1914 - Died 10 Sep 1973
On May 19, 1948, 90 local World War I and World War II veterans banded together as Charter members of the Fauquier County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9835 in Warrenton, Virginia and in April 1974, the Post was re-named in honor of WWII veteran (and past Post Commander) Robert E. Laing.
He enlisted in the US Army on May 13,1941 as a Private. He was honorably discharged following World War II as a Technical Sergeant T-5.
Chartered 5/19/48, ours is a Post that focuses on making a real difference on a personal level in the lives of our community’s veterans by interacting with a variety of organizations.
Our efforts in 2018-2022 were recognized by the HQ, VFW awarding us “All American” honors.
Post 9835 does not have a formal Post home. Although we continually search for a suitable, permanent site for the Post, the lack of our own building hasn’t kept us from being a significant player in the Warrenton and Fauquier communities.
