Why Join VFW?

Because you’ve earned it!

You’ve done so much for your country. You deserve a VFW membership that entitles you to all kinds of special salutes, services, discounts and opportunities. For only $35 per year, you can join the VFW as a member-at-large when you sign up online.

It’s your turn to be on the receiving end of some valuable benefits:

CAMARADERIE that rivals your military experience. As a member of the nation’s largest combat veterans’ organization, you’ll be surrounded and strengthened by those you’ve served with. A sisterhood of friends who understand what you’ve been through – creating a sense of belonging you won’t find anywhere else.


ADVOCACY from the loudest veteran's voice on Capitol Hill. The VFW is at your side, helping you file for VA benefits, fighting for veterans’ issues in Washington and ensuring major victories like the new GI Bill for the 21st Century.


CONNECTIONS that offer real value. We can help you find employment, make powerful new contacts, serve your community and tap into VFW online networks. In addition, no other place provides more opportunities to continue your service to your country and comrades.


SUPPORT when you need it most. The VFW helps military families during deployment and beyond with free phone time, emergency grants, and morale-boosting farewell and homecoming events to honor warriors like you.


DISTINCTION for all you’ve done. Not everyone has served in hostile territory, but every member of the VFW has. Just like you, we’ve been there. Join VFW and take advantage of the benefits and support you’ve earned.


AND BEST OF ALL – access to the exclusive She Serves Community. This is a free perk with your VFW membership! Here, you can:

  • Meet and network with other female VFW members
  • Share your story with those who can relate to your war experiences
  • Build lasting friendships with women who are dealing with the same
    situations you’re facing
  • Stay up-to-date on the news and issues that really matter to female veterans

The She Serves Community is much more than an online destination … this special community creates a sisterhood of the shared sacrifice and the pride in belonging to the VFW's distinct group of achievers – female veterans.

And, there’s more.

VFW membership also entitles you to special discounts on various merchandise and services; personal assistance securing government benefits and entitlements; group rates on quality insurance products; free subscription to VFW Magazine, and much more.

Only $35 for all of this?

That’s right. For this very affordable annual membership fee, you can expect a wealth of advantages and sense of community when you join the VFW as a member-at-large.

Why wait? Signing up online is easy!
