Membership
Why join the VFW?
Because our strength comes from you.
Simply put, the VFW strives to do good things for deserving people; particularly veterans, their families, and their communities. From local grassroots ideas to national influence, we work everyday to make a difference. It's our strength as an organization. And, with each individual membership, we only grow stronger.
Eligibility
The fundamental difference between our organization and other veterans organizations, and one in which we take great pride, is our eligibility qualifications. VFW welcomes all who meet our eligibility criteria. It's through service to this country that all our membership has earned their elite status.
If you have received a campaign medal for overseas service; have served 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days in Korea; or have ever received hostile fire or imminent danger pay, then you're eligible to join our ranks.
Membership Types
Your membership dues will support the VFW's mission to serve and represent our veterans at the local, state, and national level. Join now, and your membership will be valid through 12/31/2014.
Your dues of just $33.00 will cover the cost of your membership through 12/31/2014 as a Member-At-Large for your state. ($1.98 of your membership dues goes toward your VFW magazine subscription.)
Show your support to service members, veterans and their families by becoming a VFW Life Member. An easy, one-time payment solidifies your membership for life, or take advantage of our convenient installment plan.
