VFW HISTORY
Founded in 1899, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) of the United States was established by veterans returning from overseas service who believed those who served our nation deserved lifelong support, advocacy, and recognition. At a time when wounded and ill veterans had little access to medical care, pensions, or other benefits, these early veterans united to ensure that no one who served would be forgotten.
Today, the VFW is a congressionally chartered 501(c)(19) nonprofit veterans service organization representing eligible veterans and military members of the Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve components who have served in overseas conflicts.
For more than 125 years, the VFW has remained steadfast in its mission to foster camaraderie among veterans, advocate for their earned benefits, support military families, and strengthen the communities we serve. Through service, leadership, and unwavering commitment, the VFW continues to honor the sacrifices of those who have defended our nation's freedom.
