GET INVOLVED
Here is an opportunity to do something that will
Impact Veterans and our Community!
Help make a difference
Here are ways you can become a member:
VETERAN
The VFW exists to Support Veterans, provide Advocacy, show Patriotism, continue Tradition, and unite veterans for Camaraderie.
VFW members share the camaraderie you enjoyed in the military. We’ve all been deployed to foreign war zones and/or where UN troops maintained global peace including Egypt, Kosovo and Bosnia. We’ve put our lives on the line defending freedom. Our families know the hardships of deployments. We understand what you want in a veterans service organization: camaraderie, strong support and effective advocacy. We’re committed to serving our state and nation through the VFW’s mission—“Honor the Dead by Serving the Living”—out of respect for those who went before us into harm’s way.
Our strength comes from you—veterans of wars ranging back to World War II and Korea, through the Vietnam War and Operations Desert Storm/Shield, and through Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn, plus many smaller military operations in between. Your membership enables the VFW to do good things for great people particularly veterans, their families, our troops and their communities. Our ability to improve lives grows with each new membership and when current members renew.
Here are more reasons why membership will pay off big for you:
