Origins


In 1899, the American Veterans of Foreign Service (Columbus, Ohio) and the National Society of the Army of the Philippines (Denver, Colo.) were organized to secure rights and benefits for veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippines War (1899-1902). These two organizations merged in 1914, creating the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. VFW was chartered by Congress in 1936.

Priority issues


• VA Budget: Ensure funding is authorized and appropriated for the continuing operation and enhancement of the Veterans Health Administration.


• Education:
Secure funding increases to establish a GI bill for the 21st century that provides full tuition and living-expense stipends at any institution to which a veteran is accepted.


• Military Quality of Life:
Increase military base payto restore full comparability with private-sector wages; upgrade housing, recreation, work andchild care facilities.


• War on Terrorism: Support strong and decisive action against countries that sponsor and protect terrorist groups.


• Defense/Armed Forces:
Increase defense budget and provide resources necessary to execute U.S. military strategy.


• POW/MIA: Achieve fullest possible accounting of American MIAs from WWII through the war on terrorism.
