    When Americans raise their right hand and volunteer to serve, this Nation makes a solemn promise: If they are wounded, become ill, or die in service, America will care for them and their families. #VFWDC2026 #VFWTestimony #HonorTheContract

    Today, we were disappointed to hear some of our members boo the press during President Trump's remarks. We rely on the media to spread the VFW message, and @CNN, @NBCNews, @ABC, @FoxNews, @CBSNews, & others on site today, were our invited guests. We were happy to have them there.

    "These asinine comments not only diminish the significance of our nation’s highest award for valor, but also crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty." - VFW National Commander Al Lipphardt bit.ly/3AtiAvm

    25 senators changed their votes and no longer support toxic-exposed veterans. No more delays! No more games! Tell your senators to #PASSTHEPACTACT! votervoice.net/mobile/VFW/Cam…

    It's a longstanding VFW tradition to give our members the chance to hear directly from the sitting president on the issues that affect veterans, service members and their families. Our members are from all walks, and the VFW is non-partisan. We only want what's best #FORVETERANS.

    In a letter sent Sept. 18, the VFW is again calling on Alabama Sen. @SenTuberville to lift his hold on the routine promotion of military general and flag officers. bit.ly/3rfsaOj
