OUR MISSION

Our mission is very simple.

We foster camaraderie among United States veterans of conflicts overseas, we serve our veterans, the military, and the communities, and we advocate on behalf of all veterans.

We ensure that veterans are respected for their service, receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for their sacrifices that they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.

Our core values are to put the interests of our members first, to treat donors as partners in our cause.

We promote patriotism, honor military service, and ensure the care of veterans and their families, and serve in our communities.

We always promote a positive image of the VFW and respect the diversity of veteran opinions.
