Do you respect the flag?
Do you consider yourself patriotic?
Are you proud of your service?
Do you care about the quality of life in your community?
Do you enjoy the company of other veterans?
Do you think it's imperative to find the cause of Gulf War Syndrome?
Do you think a strong national defense is needed?
If these issues are important to you, THEN THE VFW
IS YOUR ORGANIZATION. For the rank and file membership, these are
the core reasons for becoming a VFW member. If you want to protect
you and your buddies' hard earned benefits, then you have to get
involved. How will veterans benefits be protected in the future

other veterans advocates who made today's benefits a reality.
