Taiwan has had four VFW posts established here, of which two survive:   Post 727 in Tiachung, and Post 9957 in Taipei.     The withdrawal of U.S. troops from  Taiwan led to the demise of two posts.    Post 9957 is still active in Taipei as well as our post 727 in Taichung. 

In 1971 the Post established a Post Home with canteen, which ceased operations in the late eighties coinciding with the decline in active members.  The Post in 1983 voted to accept the transfer of Pup Tent 15 from Post 89 (Tainan) to Taichung - due to the closing of Post 89.  The Cooties from former Pup Tent 15 transferred to Pup Tent 11 in the Philippines.   Post 727 has never changed location, consolidated, nor disestablished and later re-established.

Two members of The Post have served as Department Commanders; All American Department Commander Harry A. Bowser (1979-1980) and All American Department Commander Bill Wichmann (2001-2002). The Post has had one National officer; Bill Wichmann the Chairman of the National Military Assistance Program (2002-2003). Currently, Post members holding higher offices in Department are Bill Wichmann who is the Department Judge Advocate and Orville Humfleet the District IV (Taiwan) Commander.   Bill Wichmann is also Past All Star Grand Commander (2000-2001) and currently Orville Humfleet is serving his second term as an All Star Grand Commander (2009-2011).
