Company Overview

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is a nonprofit veterans’ service organization composed of combat veterans and eligible military service members from the active, Guard and Reserve forces. Founded in 1899 and chartered by Congress in 1936, the VFW is the nation's largest organization of war veterans and its oldest major veterans’ organization. With nearly 2 million members located in more than 7,000 VFW Posts worldwide, “NO ONE DOES MORE FOR VETERANS.” The VFW and its Auxiliaries are dedicated to veterans’ service, legislative advocacy, and military and community service programs worldwide. For more information or to join, visit our website at www.vfw.org. Description

In 2008, VFW won a long-fought victory with the passing of a GI Bill for the 21st Century, giving expanded educational benefits to America's active-duty service members, and members of the Guard and Reserves, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans' pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves. In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. By 1915, membership grew to 5,000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000.

The Post has been busy lately, from finishing the flooring in the Auxilairy Hall to doing some work around the stage. New member Micheal Lewis, not that one, stopped by to help; and he just happened to bring the right tools to help take care of a few safety issues.

SUFFOLK, VA- The Joe Bagley post family and friends gathered this evening for the annual Christmas Party. It truly was a merry evening. A story or two was shared followed by cheers of laughter. A wonderful soul graced the crowd with a personal holiday jingle. The children were running around and the sweets and treats were plentiful. Bellies were filled with a bountiful dinner and there were plenty of leftovers to share. When the raffle took place, one member was upgraded to a Bronze Membership, thanks for your loyalty. A few Veteran calendars and some beautiful Poinsettias plants 🪴 will grace a home. As bulbs were placed on the post Christmas tree by the attendees of the party, I knew it would be a night to remember. Merry Christmas to all; I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy the photographs.
