VFW celebrates first 125 years
Since its founding in 1899, the VFW has been “a beacon of hope and assistance for millions of veterans and their families,” according to Al Lipphardt, Commander-in-Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), in his celebratory message on Sept. 29, 2024.
For 125 years, VFW membership has fought for the rights, recognition and benefits that they earned and deserve, Lipphardt continued. The VFW stands united in its mission of advocacy, service, camaraderie and honoring all individuals who have sacrificed so much for this nation’s freedom.
