When Americans raise their right hand and volunteer to serve, this Nation makes a solemn promise: If they are wounded, become ill, or die in service, America will care for them and their families. #VFWDC2026 #VFWTestimony #HonorTheContract

Congress is trying to back veterans into a corner and take away benefits they already earned through service.

Veterans’ benefits are not handouts and they’re not there to balance the budget.

Tell Congress to back off Veterans earned benefits and Honor the Contract.

#ICYMI Beginning Aug. 1, 2026, VA Chapter 35 benefits will be limited to post-secondary education. The program will no longer cover high school coursework, GED prep, tutoring or academic remediation.

After PTSD and other service-connected conditions began affecting her daily life, Army veteran Dawn Frazier turned to the VFW for help.

"My service left lasting effects, but I’m proud of my accomplishments and grateful for the honor of having served. The VFW team understands the system and genuinely wants to help you receive the benefits you’ve earned." https://t.co/pGiGMDB7Hs

Happy 251st birthday to the @USArmy! 🇺🇸

The VFW salutes every soldier, past, present and future, for their commitment and profound sacrifices. The security and freedoms we enjoy at home are built upon their readiness and willingness to stand in harm’s way. For this we owe our soldiers and their families our deepest gratitude. https://t.co/SWw4X3P3ZJ #Army251

On June 12, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act into law, opening the door for women to serve permanently as full-time members of the U.S. Armed Forces. We salute all women veterans, past, present and future, and say “thank you” for your service to our great nation. https://t.co/ihiDpNtiqk

A fully funded and staffed VA shouldn't be controversial. Veterans earned their care, and our nation has a responsibility to deliver it.

On this Friday and every day in between, we pause to remember the brave men and women who are currently deployed; our family members and loved ones and the many individuals we don’t know, all who have chosen service over self.

We #RememberEveryoneDeployed: Until they all come home.

“The VFW strongly opposes the Take Care of America's Veterans Act as currently drafted because it asks future disabled veterans to bear the cost of expanding benefits through changing the VA rating schedule for tinnitus and obstructive sleep apnea which are common conditions associated with combat poly trauma. We have long maintained that veterans' benefits are an earned obligation of the nation, a promise made through the military service contract, and should not be financed through offsets, fee increases or reductions that place additional burdens on veterans, military families and survivors.” - VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore https://t.co/TYgxsjmPEC #VFW #HonorTheContract

[VFW National HQ @VFWHQ]

‼️ Action Alert‼️

Congress is considering legislation that would expand some veterans' programs by changing disability ratings for tinnitus and obstructive sleep apnea.

According to VA estimates, those changes could affect up to 1.5 million veterans and reduce disability compensation by approximately $57 billion over the next 10 years.

Veterans should not pay for veterans' benefits.

Take action today and tell Congress to Honor the Contract and protect earned disability compensation: https://t.co/CeC7052N42

More than 80 years after he gave his life in service to our nation, the legacy of Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Francis Wai endures. Members of VFW Post 3292 recently gathered at his final resting place at the Punchbowl to pay their respects and honor the hero for whom their Post is named. #VFWSalute https://t.co/k6Baunu4UP

A little #TBT to a great #VFWDayOfService! More than a month has passed since members of VFW Post 7397 and its Auxiliary, along with family, friends and volunteers from local nonprofit, Christmas in October, came together to help veterans and their families with home repairs and cleanup projects throughout their Kansas community.

Shaped by the voices of 20,000 Americans, including service members, veterans and Gold Star families, the Global War on Terrorism Memorial is one step closer to becoming a reality. The newly unveiled design will stand as a lasting tribute to the generations who served, sacrificed and supported loved ones in the wake of 9/11. https://t.co/pCQ1TrCt1G
