VFW Post 1003 was originally named after Pvt. Roy Sone, a WWI Marine who was killed in action on Oct. 4, 1918. Sone was assigned to Company 47, 5th Regiment, 2nd Division and was laid to rest in France before being returned to Jefferson City on August 14, 1921. In 2014 VFW Post 1003 consolidated with Wyman Basinger Post 35, which was named after a WWII Marine and is now the Basinger/Sone Memorial Post 1003.
