VFW Post 9834

03/26/2026

This post is a note from Willie Argus Faddis Jr’s brother Terry Faddis to me. I wanted to share this with you on Facebook. And with his permission here it is:

Food of thought for my brother, our brother in arms 🇺🇸👍 ( William Argus Faddis Junior , 80 yrs old , but he didn’t look it or show it , he was still cleaning out chicken houses driving bobcat skid steers like a tank , four days before he died , 🇺🇸 he went to the Sale Barn cowboy church in Decatur Arkansas. At every gas station and store in Decatur everyone knew him! You only met a Willie Faddis ( once ) and would remember him for a lifetime

My brother, “WILLY FADDIS” - prayed over us for quite a while as a chaplain of the VFW post 9834 - he had a great heart - he loved his country and he loved people “ Vietnam vet 🇺🇸 , he actually served 13 months active physical combat in Vietnam and that was a crazy war indeed “ our brother made it home ( in america ) and now he is with Jesus and when God takes somebody home to his bosom 🙏🇺🇸 God doesn’t have to ask for permission 🇺🇸 “ the hour glass is still running ( constantly 24 seven ) and all we have is right now and yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised - please people don’t dwell on the past no more and live and love and laugh today - because tomorrow is not promised and our life is like a v***r , a mist for a little time and it’s vanished ( scriptural ) “ our brother was a chaplain for our post 9834 and we will miss him ❤️🙏

With a very sad heart I am writing to inform you that Our Chaplin, Willie Faddis, passed away today!
As we all have seen his work ethic! He was the same as a soldier! He fought during the Vietnam War, serving in Vietnam for 13 solid months.
He worked everyday with the same hardness that he had as a soldier! He helped keep this VFW going many years ago and was almost always at each meeting.

I will follow up this information just as soon as I get an update.

We all want so much, want to say how much we admire and appreciate Ms. Magnolia McClain for her hard work she did in her project for American Flags. She had a much lesser amount for her goal but ended up making $1205.00 for the purchase of the flags.
