LEGISLATIVE

 
 
The VFW is one of the most respected voices in Washington D.C., and within local governments across America.  We advocate for justice for our nation's veterans, service members and military families on an array of issues and continue to be the voice for veterans everywhere.   We regularly testify before Congress, meet with elected officials and rally our national network of VFW members and patriotic supporters to ensure our lawmakers put veterans first.  When those who've served their country and those that support them stand together, we can not be ignored.
 
We fought in uniform to keep our country safe.  Today we continue that fight through our National Security and Foreign Affairs (NS&FA) program.  Simply put, NS&FA works to maintain the integrity of our great nation.
 
Ensuring women veterans receive benefits and services that honor their brave military service is one of the VFW's top priorities.  With the steady increase of women wearing our nation's uniform, it has never been more important to ensure women veterans have a VA that is ready and able to care for them.
 
The VFW's Action Corps is the VFW's grassroots lobbying effort.  Located in communities across the globe, this group work to inform and educate veterans and service members on the initiatives and policies that affects them and take the voice of veterans to locxal, state and national lawmakers.
 
We consistently monitor veterans' experiences with the VA health care system and deliver veterans' feedback directly to VA officials in order to implement new programs and methods to ensure America's veterans receive the top quality care they deserve.
 
We are the voice that represents veterans everywhere and defends their right and benefits.  Our representatives stand for veterans every time
