As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.  Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.  The Veterans of Foreign Wars is more than just a bar and bingo, we are in the community, supporting our Veterans and representing ALL Veterans on Capitol Hill fighting for your benefits and rights.
