VFW Post 3513 was named in Memory for the Service of Private Stanley A Crews, a native to Scottsdale and Regular Army Enlistee who gave his life to the Nation that he loved. Army Private Stanley A Crews was captured by the Japanese when Corregidor fell and died in a POW camp on Oct 13th 1942. He is now buried at Fort McKinley in the Philippine Islands. Since the posts first Muster (April 16th 1946) it has served as the premier meeting place in South Scottsdale for new and old Veterans alike. The torch has been passed through 5 war generations keeping its focus of providing a trusted space for camaraderie and supporting the community.

Post Membership is broad and extensive, ranging from WWI Vets to those who have served in the recent conflicts of Iraq and Afghanistan. The most important thing about becoming part of Post 3513 is that it is a strong, tight knit community. It’s a community based on the shared experience of having served our Country in wartime conditions.   It is our home away from home. There is always someone to chat with, someone to share your ups and downs. If you have a problem or an issue there is always someone there to give you a helping hand or a word of encouragement or advice.
