Veterans Service Organization
We are combat veterans who live to serve our fellow veterans and our community.

The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans' pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves. In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Now, almost 2 million strong, the VFW pushes for legislation like the new Post-9/11 GI Bill, better VA benefits, and more.
