VA Benefits - October 2022
Commander John Griffith of Michigan
The VFW was originally created in 1899 for veterans who had performed combat duty and were struggling with health issues related to their military service. Here are the details as provided by the VFW website – VFW.org.
We trace our roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service. Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans’ pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves.
In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations that would eventually band together and become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. Today, membership stands at more than 1.5 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliary.

The HQ is located in Lansing, Michigan. You can find their website here: www.vfwmi.org. Or just call the office at 517-485-9456
