Welcome to Rocco Moretto VFW Post 2348

For 76 years, our post has been a cornerstone of this community and a place to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans. As we begin a new chapter, we're dedicated to revitalizing our post, strengthening our community ties, and continuing the proud legacy that was started here in 1949.

A Message to Our Members

To my fellow comrades, as your new commander, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. As we embark on the fiscal year 25/26, I am honored to share with you my vision for the future of our post. My goal is to not only uphold the incredible legacy we've inherited but to actively shape a new era of growth and prosperity for every member.

My vision is built on three essential pillars, and each one is directly tied to your experience here: **Restoration**, **Community**, and **Continuity**. We will complete the revitalization of our bar and hall to give you the modern, comfortable, and welcoming space you deserve. This isn't just about a new look; it's about investing in the physical heart of our post, a place for you to relax, connect, and feel at home.

Our focus on **Community** means we will create more opportunities for us to come together. I want our post to be a vibrant, active hub where members can forge new friendships, share stories, and feel a deep sense of belonging. Your ideas and participation will be critical to bringing this to life.

Finally, **Continuity** is about making sure our post remains strong for generations to come. We will establish clear processes and procedures that ensure the work we do today lays a solid foundation for the future. I am committed to working with you to make our post a beacon of strength and service for years to come.

I look forward to working alongside each of you to bring this vision to life. Your input, support, and dedication are invaluable. Together, we will honor our past and build a future that truly reflects the spirit of our post and the sacrifices of the veterans we serve. Thank you for this opportunity; let's get to work.
