We consider every dues-paying or lifetime member to be an active member.  Your participation level is up to you.  Your support of the VFW enables us to continue our programs and aid to Veterans, their widows, and their children as well as the community.  You don't have to anything more, if you would rather not.  We will still check in on you from time to time to ensure you are doing well and to remind you of the comradery, fellowship, mentorship, aid, and friendship that is here if you need it!

Annual membership Dues $37 and due on the anniversary of the date you joined the VFW or the date of annual renewal.  We encourage you to extend your annual membership prior to the due date to avoid those phone calls and letters.  Renewing early does NOT change your next due date, so that's good!
 
A lifetime membership allows you to pay one total sum once or 11 monthly installments and be finished!  (The amount varies based on your age.)   This is the most cost effective way to be a VFW member!

Who We Are: The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is a nonprofit veterans service organization comprised of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, guard and reserve forces.

Our Mission: To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans.

 
Our Vision:  Ensure that veterans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.
 


You must be a veteran who has honorably served overseas in an area of foreign conflict in order to join the VFW. However, if you are not eligible for VFW membership but are the parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, child or grandchild of a qualifying veteran, you can apply for membership in the VFW Auxiliary. Visit the VFW Auxiliary website or call 318-345-4185 for more information.
