Read about the important military and veteran issues we've been advocating for, and the ways we're actively supporting our military and veteran family, and local communities every day.

For more than a century, the VFW has been a powerhouse FOR VETERANS. Use these tools to help tell our story and ensure we continue making a difference for the generations of veterans to come.

With a circulation of more than 1.2 million, the official VFW magazine has been the voice of the overseas war veteran for more than a century. In November 1904, the first issue of the magazine's predecessor publication appeared for members of a fledgling organization called the American Veterans of Foreign Service.

Highlighting the amazing work the VFW does at all levels, Checkpoint is an award-winning newsletter . It provides VFW Department, District and Post leaders with a more comprehensive and unique understanding of the organization.

See examples of the hard work and support that have led VFW Posts to become pillars of support in communities across the globe. From coordinating welcome home celebrations and community picnics, to building playgrounds and organizing clothing drives, No One Does More For Veterans than the VFW.

Since 1949, our annual Legislative Conference has provided an opportunity for VFW leaders from each state to personally lobby their respective lawmakers and watch as VFW's current National Commander testifies before the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees on behalf of veterans.

From our national convention to the annual legislative conference, if you're wondering what's going on at the VFW national level, we've got the scoop. Find out event details and gain access our annual planning calendar right here.
