Joining
the Veterans of Foreign Wars The fundamental difference between our organization and other veterans organizations, and one in which we take great pride, is our eligibility qualifications. |
Do You Qualify?
If you have received a campaign medal for overseas service or have ever received hostile fire or imminent danger pay, then you're eligible to join our ranks. This encompasses the major wars of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It also encompasses action in Panama, Grenada, Kosovo to name a few. Support of those wars in areas adjacent to the actual countries are included in many cases. Occupation duty after WWII until 1956 in most foreign areas, duty in Berlin prior to November 1990, and service on the Korean penninsula at any time up through the present will also qualify you.
