Ben Hruz
Commander -

Hello! I began my tenure as Post Commander in May, 2025. I have been a member of the VFW for almost 30 years.  I was a Marine Corps Officer from 1989 to 1996 and earned my eligibility for the VFW when I served in southwest Asia in support of Operations Desert Storm/Desert Shield. Upon leaving active duty, I joined the FBI as a Special Agent and served there for 25 years. My service in the FBI included a deployment to Iraq in 2005 and Afghanistan in 2011. I currently live in Wauwatosa with my wife Ann and we have two grown children - a son who is an active duty Army officer and a daughter who resides and works in the Milwaukee area.
