The Veterans of Foreign War 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. The VFW Post and its auxiliaries’ members while working to serve veterans of foreign war, also provide assistance to many charities through their fundraising events held throughout the year.
For local membership information, contact the VFW Post at 325-646-8113.
