Supporters of the VFW
The Ladies and Men's Auxiliary VFW seek to support our nation's veterans by serving active-duty military personnel and their families. We also look to better our communities through volunteerism and patriotic education.Ladies Auxillary
Since 1914 the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States has worked to ensure that America's veterans will not be forgotten and those who need assistance will get it. To help achieve those goals, each year donations are made to help make life better for active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families, and America's communities. With nearly 600,000 members in the United States, Guam and Panama, the Ladies Auxiliary VFW actively supports our troops as well as veterans and their families.
Since the War on Terror began, care packages have been sent to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar and other locations around the world. Members also donate to Operation Uplink which supplies free long-distance calling cards to active-duty military and hospitalized veterans to help them stay in touch with their families.
Mens Auxillary
Greetings on behalf of the Men's Auxiliary. Come join us! Many Floridians don't realize that they qualify for the Men's Auxiliary. They believe that they must have served in the military and been in a war. Wrong! That is the VFW not the Men's Auxiliary. The Men's Auxiliary is a support organization for the VFW (i.e. we actively support their endeavors on behalf of our armed forces, community affairs/projects and many charities). If you believe in support of our military, our community and our charities and like wonderful people, you may qualify.
Here is the criteria in the most simple terms: If you have a father, mother, brother, sister or grandparent that served in a war?you can join us! You have to provide proof of that service, but we can help you find that information through a number of resources. If you would like to search for the information yourself, try this site. I used it to find my father's service record.
Go to the site below:
http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html
When you get to the site, click on -- Launch eVetRecs--Request Military Records
Then simply follow the steps to get your family's record
You may be pleasantly surprised what you find. I found places my father served that I didn't know about, and was able to share with my brothers and sisters.
If you would like more information about the Men's Auxiliary, click on the tab below, and it will take you to my recruiter who will provide you with all the information you need to contact me, and hopefully, join our great organization. Actually, tab on it anyway; it will make you smile?
Regards, Bill McGrath
