The Waverly Area Veterans Post (WAVP) was incorporated on June 11, 2009 in Waverly, Iowa. It brings together, under one roof, the four greater Waverly Area Veterans organizations: American Legion Post #176; AMVETS Post #79; Marine Corps League Detachment #1241; and, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2208.

The WAVP Mission Statement is: "To create a Veterans Center for those who served"

The WAVP Vision Statement is: "Where Patriots Gather"

We are committed to serving the needs of all Veterans, active and inactive, and their families through programs and events that will provide assistance in securing Veterans benefits, seeking employment, connecting with their families when away from home, and hosting events where they can gather and socialize.

We work with kindred organizations to help Veterans with homeless situations, mental health issues, difficulties getting jobs, and suicide prevention.

Helping returning Veterans through difficult life situations is one of the most important things we can do to get Veterans back on their feet when they return home.

We offer the Veterans Center as the place "Where Patriots Gather" to serve today's Veterans and their families.
