The VFW supports correcting longstanding problems affecting veterans and survivors. It opposes addressing those problems by reducing future veterans’ disability compensation. Congress should consider legislation such as the Major Richard Star Act separately from TCAVA so fixing one injustice doesn’t create another.

Donor-advised funds, or DAFs, are one of the fastest-growing ways to give in the U.S. It’s easy to see why. These convenient, tax-advantaged accounts allow you to support the causes you care about on your own timeline, potentially grow your charitable funds through investment, and simplify your giving and recordkeeping. A gift from your DAF to the VFW helps fuel veterans’ advocacy, benefits assistance and programs that support veterans and their families. You can also name the VFW as a beneficiary of your DAF for future impact. Learn more: vfw.planmylegacy.org/daf-cha…

Until they all come home: #RememberEveryoneDeployed

Veterans sacrificed to protect our nation. This is our chance to give back to them. Make a special #VeteransDay gift by Nov. 11 and your generosity will be DOUBLED. bit.ly/4ys5kzo #ForVeterans

The VFW’s position remains consistent: Support provisions that help veterans and families. Oppose using future veterans’ disability compensation to finance them. Helping one group of veterans should not come at the expense of another.

“That’s one hell of a story.” VFW Life member and Marine veteran Ken Rodgers knew because he lived it. His experience surviving the 77-day siege at Khe Sanh Combat Base in Vietnam would inspire him and his wife, Betty, to preserve the stories of the men who fought alongside him, honoring their service, sacrifice and resilience in an award-winning documentary. vfw.org/media-and-events/lat… #VFW #StillServing #KheSanh #VietnamVeterans

The VFW supports many of the veteran, caregiver and survivor provisions Congress is considering in TCAVA. Our objection is to Section 108, which would change how future claims for tinnitus and sleep apnea are rated to help pay for those provisions. Veterans should not be used to balance the budget. Period. votervoice.net/VFW/Campaigns… #VFWActionCorps #ProtectVeteransBenefits #Veterans

On Fridays we wear red: A seemingly small act, it serves as one more reminder to those at home to #RememberEveryoneDeployed until all our nation's deployed service members come home.
