WHAT IS THE VFW ? |
Established in 1899 by Veterans returning from action in the Spanish-American
War, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of The United States (VFW) was formed to
help these soldiers, sailors and Marines re-adjust to civilian life and to
protect their benefits. In their over a century of service, members of the
VFW have been at the battle front in the protection of the rights of Veterans
nationwide. Many VFW Posts such as our own Grover King Post 1115 of Hillsville,
Virginia, also take a leading role in community activities and service
to our neighbors. VETERANS HELPING VETERANS AND PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE |
