Our Post newsletter, the Hashmark was founded in .

All of the newsletters that Webmaster produced while editor were in paper format. When Webmaster took over as editor in 2002, both paper and electronic formats were generated. Paper copies are still sent to each member every month, and the electronic copy of the same paper is put on the VFW Post 51 website for anyone to enjoy that has access to the internet.

Below are several milestone issues that were captured in the Hashmark in recent years. Feel free to download and read.

This special issue (on the right) of the Hashmark was created in April 2006 for the 60th Anniversary of Spokane VFW Post 51. Each decade of the Post is highlighted with chronological events as well as pictures from many of the old Hashmark issues.
