Join the VFW and its Auxiliary or any Veterans Service Organization, if you can TODAY. And, remember your family, too.
Look at the mess in Washington DC where professional politicians are trying to decide which of our Veterans, Active Duty Military, our families, and we Gold Star or White Star Families deserve benefits now and or in the future. The largest voices make the biggest impact. Right now those that speak for us are the VFW, DAV, IAVA, VVA, JWV, MOPH, American Legion etc. AND THEIR AUXILIARIES.

Remember- when you answered the call to duty, so did your family. These benefits are for all of us in the military community. And, they're not like pie - we can all have our benefits, unless CONGRESS pits us against one another. (Sound familiar?)

If you or your eligible family members are not yet a member of a Veterans Service Organization - please join today and add you voices to the advocacy groups that go to Washington to protect your benefits today AND to set up protections for our future Veterans. Your local posts and Auxiliaries are taking care of local Veterans in VA hospitals, doing Veteran food pantries, driving Veterans to medical appointments and grocery shopping, plus raising funds for Veterans in your community - right there around you.
If you haven't joined because of a financial barrier - reach out today. Your local post or Auxiliary can help you out with fees.
