VFW National HQ

When Americans raise their right hand and volunteer to serve, this Nation makes a solemn promise: If they are wounded, become ill, or die in service, America will care for them and their families. #VFWDC2026 #VFWTestimony #HonorTheContract

On this day in 2003, the Iraq War officially began. We remember the courage of the men and women who answered the call to serve and honor those who gave their lives in the fight against terrorism. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. #VFWSalute #IraqWar

The VFW, advocacy groups and the State of Virginia fight to protect veterans’ full GI Bill education benefits in federal court. “Veterans who earned eligibility under both programs can receive up to 48 months of education benefits. VA’s regulations add conditions that do not exist in the statute and undermine the Supreme Court’s ruling. Our brief asks the court to ensure the law is implemented correctly so veterans receive the full benefits they earned.” - VFW General Counsel John Muckelbauer bit.ly/3NspsA3 #VFW #VeteransBenefits #VA @TaskandPurpose @VFW_OfficeDC

“They say that you can’t be paid two different streams of money from the federal government for this same qualifying event or the same purpose — is what the law says.” bit.ly/4urw95Z #HonorTheContract #MajorRichardStarAct

The VFW has filed a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit challenging @DeptVetAffairs rules that the organization says unlawfully deny veterans the full education benefits they earned through service. "America’s veterans kept their promise to serve, and our government must Honor the Contract it has with them," said VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore. "VA's rules are preventing many from accessing what they rightfully earned, and that is why the VFW is fighting to ensure the law is applied as intended." vfw.org/media-and-even…

Last week, we paid tribute to the 1932 Bonus Expeditionary Force during the Bonus Army Memorial March, following in the footsteps of those who came before us to again call on lawmakers to Honor the Contract. #VFWDC2026 @VFW_OfficeDC ⎸ @GruntStyleFdn ⎸ @IWnational

Veterans have fulfilled their obligation. It’s time for Congress to hold up their end of the bargain. Pass the Major Richard Star Act.
