VFW POST 6024

Edward J. Kearns was honorably discharged in 1962 as Chief Boatswain's Mate (BMC). He then worked for 20 years at the Inglewood, California Post Office as a route processor. After retiring in 1980, he moved to Mission Viejo, California where he became active in community affairs. He helped lay the groundwork for the creation of the Mission Viejo Library and then in 1987, established the VFW Post 6024.

Ed Kearns passed away in 1995. In 1996, Post 6024 voted to adopt his name in honor of the man and his memory.  

The VFW Post 6024 continues the legacy started by Edward Kearns and the Saddleback Valley pioneers. We thank them for their service and commitment. Today Post 6024 draws members throughout the Saddleback Valley located in South Orange County that include: Mission Viejo, Rancho Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Coto de Caza, Trabuco Canyon, Rancho Santa Margarita, Lake Forest, Foothill Ranch, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, and Laguna Niguel.
