United States Navy’s 251st Birthday: Tuesday, October 13th
On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the purchase and arming of two vessels to cruise against British transports — the legislative birth of the Continental Navy. The fleet grew during the Revolution, was disbanded afterward, and was permanently reestablished under the Naval Act of 1794, which ordered the first six frigates, including USS Constitution.

Message from the Commander
“No One Does More for Veterans” is the motto of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and there is no truer attestation to that than VFW Post 3345.
Located in the economically sound city of Strongsville, OH, VFW Post 3345 is proud to be the largest post in District 7, and one of the largest in Ohio. Although our post has over 600 Veteran members and 700 Auxiliary and social members, it's still a place to call your own. As in the theme song from the TV show Cheers, it truly is a place where “everyone knows your name”.
Inside you will find a very comfortable & friendly canteen that boasts a wide array of military artifacts, memorabilia, photos, patches, and insignias from years gone by to those donated by our active duty or recent veteran members. The main hall is a great place for our members to host their family and friend gatherings for occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, or large birthday parties.
The post is situated on 2 + acres with a large grassy area equipped with horseshoe pits, a covered pavilion, and most importantly our Veterans Memorial. The pride of our post, this memorial was built and completed by the membership on Veterans Day, 2010. It represents all branches of the service and honors those who have fallen and served. In the words of a local politician, “it is the finest memorial outside of Washington DC that I’ve ever seen”.
In addition to all we have to offer our members, Post 3345 is among the most generous. Donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to veterans in need and local organizations, along with tens of thousands of volunteer hours, our post is fully aware of the real purpose behind this organization. VFW Post 3345 is a warrior for the motto “No One Does More for Veterans”.
If you haven't been to our post, please stop by and see if you are eligible to become a member. Whether a veteran that served overseas in a qualifying conflict or a family member of one, come experience the camaraderie of our post and become involved with the true meaning of giving back to those that gave so much.
​
God bless you and I wish you all, “Fair winds and following seas”.

Sincerely,
Tim Zvoncheck
