The LTC John D. Riddell VFW Post 1432 in Salina was chartered in 1926 to support veterans, service members, and their families. Named after Lt. Col. John D. Riddell, the post has a long history of community involvement, including operating a lounge, honor guard, and riders group, and played a key role in making Salina a designated POW-MIA city.
