Title: Oral history interview with Wendelin J. Coenen, [sound recording], 1996.

Wendelin J. "Shimmel" Coenen discusses his involvement in the early history of VFW Lachmund-Cramer Post #7694 in Sauk City, Wisconsin. After his World War II service in the Pacific Theater, Coenen recalls discussing the start of a VFW post with Charles Henning at his ice cream shop in Sauk City. He talks about generating interest through an advertisement in the Sauk City Pioneer Press, the high level of interest from other returning World War II veterans, and the opposition from the local American Legion. Coenen touches on the first meeting, some of the men who were there, and the election of officers. During years of poor attendance, he explains Charles Henning's efforts to keep the post active and states, "He was a one-man VFW post for a long time." Coenen comments on the post's promotional activities. He touches on his service in the Korean War with Toby Thistle, another VWF member.
