Don't Feed the Claim Sharks - fact sheet

VFW Auxiliary members are instrumental in assisting the VFW pass or block legislation that impacts veterans and their families. Each year, members contact legislators to share our views regarding such legislation with them and invite them to share their positions on veterans’ issues; we hold legislators accountable for honoring America’s promises to our nation’s veterans.

The Legislative Program:

Promotes the VFW Priority Goals. The Priority Goals reflect the resolutions passed by the VFW to strengthen and ensure an adequate VA system for millions of current and future veterans. They call for much-needed attention to crises and are grouped under six areas of concern:

Budget
Health Care
Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs
Education, Employment and Transition Assistance
Military Quality of Life
National Security, Foreign Affairs and POW/MIA
