"THE SOLDIER IS THE ARMY. NO ARMY IS BETTER THAN ITS SOLDIERS. THE SOLDIER IS ALSO A CITIZEN. IN FACT, THE HIGHEST OBLIGATION AND PRIVILEGE OF CITIZENSHIP IS THAT OF BEARING ARMS FOR ONE’S COUNTRY."

VETERANS & MILITARY SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Veterans & Military Support is part of the VFW’s never-ending obligation to assist members of the active-duty military, National Guard and Reserves, as well as their families.
