Legislative Priorities

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) operates a dedicated office in Washington, D.C., to monitor and influence legislation affecting veterans. The National Legislative Service sets the VFW's legislative agenda and actively lobbies for veterans' interests. Key achievements include influencing nearly every piece of veterans' legislation since the early 20th century and recent successes like the Forever GI Bill and the VA MISSION Act. The VFW's advocacy efforts are driven by its Priority Goals, focusing on areas such as budget, education, health care, and national security, ensuring the well-being of veterans is always a priority.
