VFW Member Dispatch
August 2017

With his recent election as VFW National Commander, Keith Harman is calling on the nearly 1.7 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliary to focus on the difference we make in the lives of America’s service members, veterans and their families.

National Commander Harman has vowed to remain dedicated to “Service not Self” over the next year and with your commitment and support, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish together!

The upcoming year will present many challenges and obstacles that we must face head-on. Make sure you have the tools needed to ensure this year’s a success. Download the 2017-18 membership program by logging in at VFW.org, and from the My VFW page click the link under Membership Quick Links. Help ensure Congress doesn’t forget about America’s heroes by arming yourself with the VFW’s 2017 Priority Goals, and learning about key congressional bills the VFW is working to pass.

Working together, we will continue to stand up and ensure that No One Does More FOR VETERANS!

Respectfully,

Your VFW Membership Team
