IMPORTANT  NOTICE As part of an ongoing effort to improve Post efficiency and better serve our members, we are making a change to how we distribute our monthly newsletter.

  Beginning in November 2025, our newsletter will only be available in digital format, meaning no mailing out printed copies.

 Moving forward, you’ll only receive the newsletter via email at the start of each month.  It will also be available on our VFW Post 604 Facebook page and here on our website. If you desire the newsletter via email, update your information by emailing us at main@vfw-604.org.

If you are a Veteran and in need of a friend to talk to in a time of stress - - Do not hesitate to CALL NOW...  They're here for you !!!

Thank you for visiting our Internet site. We want to give you the opportunity to stay in touch with us and up-to-date with post activities.  See Coming events.  This page is just another method to present you access to current post activities, links to outside sites that are of interest to the veteran, and Post 604 archives.  The emphasis of our site is on post activities and specific information of interest to VFW members and VFW Auxiliary members.   Please check this site frequently for updates.  

Chartered on January 7, 1921, VFW Post 604 is the longest continuously chartered Veterans of Foreign Wars post in the state of Indiana.  Named in honor of Laurens B. Strain, a Bloomington native, who enlisted in the United States Army at the onset of World War I and was killed in action during the Battle of Belleau Woods, near the Marne River in France, on June 7, 1918. 

Come out and hang with us.  Amenities include a full bar.
