American soldiers sacrifice so much, All for the freedom of our country. Leaving their families and heading off to war, Not knowing what the future holds.

Buddy Poppies

In Flanders Fields By John McCrae - World War I Colonel In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

WELCOME TO SILVER STATE

VFW Silver State Post 3396
The Veteran of Foreign Wars Silver State Post 3396 and its Auxiliary supports our Service Members, Veterans, their Families, and our Community with various programs. The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is the Nation’s oldest major veterans’ organization, The VFW has an impeccable and longstanding record of stewardship.  VFW Post 3396 has more than 300 patriotic Americans, both members and non-members, who dedicate thousands of volunteer hours for our community.

Over the last decade, approximately 80% of support received from VFW members and patriotic Americans was applied directly to veterans service, community service, legislative advocacy and military service programs worldwide.

At the local level we are continually inspiring patriotism in our young people with awarding scholarships in our Voice of Democracy, Patriot Pen essay, Scout of the Year and Teacher of the year programs. We strive to thank America’s educators by providing them with helpful resources and encouraging our members to visit local classrooms. This lets the VFW help educators with America’s future leaders and bring history to life!

We participate in a wide range of assistance programs aimed at helping service members and veterans of every generation. It is the mission of the VFW post to work with unit commanders and senior enlisted personnel to develop supportive relationships with units before, during and after deployments. we offer a vast network of free resources and a variety of direct support for military members and their families. We have recently renewed our cooperation with our Adopted Nevada National Guard units and are currently getting ready for Holiday parties and deployment ceremonies.
