 VETERANS IN TODAY’S VFW ARE #STILLSERVING
Every day, men and women who have bravely defended our freedom continue to serve in ways outside of the military. America’s veterans and service members are actively involved in their communities. They’re helping others, and they exemplify the best of the American spirit.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is proud to count many of these men and women among our membership. The #StillServing campaign is a way to showcase and honor the ongoing commitment and service of our nation’s best and brightest.

Building on a legacy of service that spans more than a century, #StillServing represents the heart of the VFW and its members — and conveys what today’s VFW embodies.
 
To honor a Veteran on your social media page include their picture and the tag #StillServing in your story.

 DON'T FEED THE SHARKS...

Governing Unaccredited Representatives Defrauding VA Benefits Act or the GUARD VA Benefits Act

IN-COUNTRY

A satirical reflection by Author/Artist Phil Fehrenbacher

Phil enlisted in the Army in 1965 where you served for years in Vietnam.  He became a graphic designer and has worked for the state of Oregon for 26 years.  He retired in 2003 and started the Cartoon "In-Country".  The cartoons reflect his experiences during his tour of duty in South Vietnam.


There is a new cartoon everyday.
