To see a current update of our membership stats .
VFW membership is available to all U.S. service members who have earned an overseas campaign or expeditionary medal and are currently on Active-Duty, in the Reserves / National Guard or who have been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces. In addition, the service member must be an U.S. citizen.
We have a (3) step process in approving our members. First, we need an application filled out (even for transfers), second, we need proof of eligibility, and finally we need to vote on the application.
Note: A 1995 VFW Congressional Charter amendment makes eligible all those who have served 30 consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days on the Korean peninsula or in its territorial waters from June 30, 1949, until the present.
This year the VFW added a new eligibility If you have an SSBN with a patrol device or the new Combat Action Badge you are now eligible to join the VFW.
This is not by far an all inclusive list of Qualifying Medals. However if you have any of these, you may be eligible to join the VFW.
