The membership of the VFW is made up of men and women who have served their country honorably in overseas engagements for which a campaign badge or medal has been authorized by the U.S. Government. No others may join. Eligibility cannot be purchased with money, power or influence. Membership is a coveted honor. There are no honorary memberships. 

Community betterment is the keystone of the total VFW structure. Working for the good of all citizens, VFW members use this method for putting into action the precepts of the Golden Rule. The hand of comradeship is outstretched to members, no matter in what part of the country they may be, by Posts which are always ready to assist their comrades and families in times of distress. The service to disabled and needy veterans and their dependents is rendered by the VFW on a nationwide scale by its Veterans' Service. Each year this expanding service gains millions of dollars in benefits for veterans by pressing their claims before the Veterans' Administration. FW Post 8645 and its Ladies Auxiliary have always taken an active role in supporting the programs that keep our organization strong and help our veterans. Honor the dead by helping the living!

Post meetings are the first Tuesday of each month, beginning at 7 PM. All members in good standing are welcome and encouraged to attend.
