You MUST meet these TWO requirements for VFW eligibility:

1. Honorable Service – must be currently serving or have served in the US Armed Forces and received a Honorable or General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge.
2. Service in a war, campaign, or expedition on foreign soil or in hostile waters. This can be proven with:

• Authorized campaign medal (qualifying medals/badges). This is usually on your DD-214. If other information is needed or it's not complete, then contact the National Personnel Records Center online or at 314.801.0800 to request more information. 
• Receipt of Hostile Fire Pay or Imminent Danger Pay (verified by a military pay statement)
• Service in Korea for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days

Best bet is to stop in to see what we offer and fill out an application while you enjoy dinner and a drink with your comrades, or you can apply on line.
