125 years ago,
America’s veterans came home from war, wounded and left to fend for themselves. There was no medical care, no benefits, and often, little hope. Out of this
need for change, one group of veterans banded together, laying the foundation
for what would become the VFW. This year we celebrate 125 years of lasting
change made to ensure those who sacrifice for our freedom return to a grateful
nation. We are Celebrating the Legacy!
