The Veterans Of Foreign Wars was founded by James C. Putnam on 29 September 1899, and since then the date has been celebrated at posts in America and later all over the globe. There are some six thousand VFW posts worldwide and 52 “departments” stateside offering services and advocacy to vets and their families.

The Veterans Of Foreign Wars is a non-profit veterans service organization offering membership to eligible veterans and military service members from the active, Guard, and Reserve forces. The VFW and the VFW Auxiliary serve veterans, participate in lobbying and “legislative advocacy” as well as operating or participating in military programs and community service programs.
