TELL CONGRESS!
TAKE ACTION NOW
ON VFW-SUPPORTED TOXIC EXPOSURE BILLS
In June, the House and Senate Committees on Veterans’ Affairs introduced comprehensive legislation on toxic exposure addressing the VFW’s top legislative priority. The House bill is the Honoring our PACT Act and the Senate bill is the COST of War Act. If you haven’t already done so, we encourage all veterans, family members, friends, and supporters to Take Action Now. Spread the word so that as many people as possible will contact their senators and representatives to support these important pieces of legislation!

VFW Podcasts
The VFW Podcast is a new show for veterans, by veterans. It airs the first and third Wednesday of each month.
The VFW Podcast is our newest communication platform that will highlight critical issues, challenges and legislation affecting veterans, service members and military families worldwide.
Join us as we chat with congressional leadership, Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs senior officials, and everyday veterans as we tackle tough issues affecting our military veteran community.
To listen to the VFW Podcasts, please click on any of the following streaming service icons below, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Our National VFW organization is working hard to protect those benefits and entitlements that we have earned through our military service to our nation. To make this program successful, we need as many of you as possible to participate and get involved as a "Veterans Advocate." The purpose of this program is to inform our members of the issues so we can take action by contacting (writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls, attending town hall meetings, etc.) our legislators on issues affecting veterans, active duty service members and our families. Our elected officials need to hear from us. If they don't, they will assume that it isn't important to us, make the decisions for us, and we will have to live with the consequences.
