What it says it does
THE VETERANS FOR FOREIGN WARS OF THE UNITED STATES BELIEVES AMERICA IS DEFINED BY HOW IT TREATS THOSE WHO SACRIFICED TO PROTECT IT. WE BELIEVE IN PROTECTING AND FIGHTING FOR THOSE WHO WERE BRAVE ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR US. WHETHER ON CAPITOL HILL OR IN OUR COMMUNITIES, THE VFW FIGHTS TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF AMERICA'S VETERANS BY LOBBYING FOR VETERAN'S RIGHTS, HELPING VETERANS GET THE BENEFITS THEY DESERVE, AND ASSISTING VETERANS FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION WITH SCHOLARSHIPS AND LIVING ASSISTANCE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. TO DO LESS WOULD BE AN UNCONSCIONABLE BETRAYAL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS AMERICANS AND VETERANS.
