This contribution marks another year of working alongside this amazing organization that’s dedicated to ensuring veterans receive the recognition, resources, and support they’ve earned through their service.
But what does the VFW actually do for veterans?
Read on to learn more about the VFW, its history of veteran advocacy, and how your continued support helps us give back to those who served.
What is the Veterans of Foreign Wars?
The Veterans of Foreign Wars started back in 1899, following the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War.
During this time, many American service members returned home facing challenges, including injuries, illnesses, and a lack of access to pensions or medical care.
Facing these issues, veterans of these wars came together to advocate for themselves and their fellow service members, laying the foundation for what would eventually become the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Since then, the VFW has remained dedicated to fighting for the rights and benefits veterans deserve, supporting veterans, active service members, and their families through:
- Veterans benefits assistance: Helping veterans navigate the VA claims process and access the benefits they’ve earned through military service
- Financial assistance: Providing financial grants to eligible service members and military families facing unexpected financial hardship
- Educational opportunities: Offering scholarships to help veterans acquire a higher education without incurring excessive debt
- Mental Wellness Resources: Building partnerships to serve the needs of veterans suffering from invisible injuries.
Beyond these programs, the VFW has also played an important role in active legislation and initiatives to improve the lives of millions of veterans and honor their service:
Establishing the Veterans Administration
Creating the United States National Cemetery System
Compensation for Vietnam vets exposed to Agent Orange
Compensation for vets with Gulf War Syndrome
Passing the 21st Century GI Bill
Expanding educational benefits to active duty service members, along with reserves and guard, fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq
Improving VA medical services for women veterans
2014's Veterans Access and Accountability Act
2019's Blue Water Navy Veteran Act
2022's Honoring Our PACT Act
More than a century after its founding, the VFW continues to serve as an important voice for veterans and their families throughout the United States.
