VFW Dispatch

December 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, we can proudly reflect on all we’ve accomplished together this year in our fight for all of America’s veterans, service members and their families.

Over the past year, the VFW has successfully fought to ensure that the benefits you earned are protected. But none of 2018’s successes could have been achieved without you! It is because of your dedication and support that the VFW has been able to impact the lives of those who deserve our support the most.

On behalf of the VFW, thank you for your continued membership and we look forward to everything we’ll achieve in the year to come.

We wish you a wonderful holiday season!

Respectfully,

Your VFW Membership Team
