This interview with State Commander John Keene sheds light on the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW) efforts to move beyond its outdated stereotype and attract younger veterans.

A Call to Action for Veterans

Keene emphasizes the ongoing need for veteran advocacy. While the PACT Act was a significant step, more work needs to be done to expand benefits as new connections between military service and health conditions emerge.

Membership Matters: Strengthening Advocacy

Keene encourages veterans to consider joining the VFW, even if they’re unable to participate in community service activities. Membership strengthens the VFW’s voice in Washington D.C., ensuring veterans’ needs are heard.

The VFW Auxiliary: Extending Support to Families

The VFW Auxiliary provides a path for family members of eligible veterans to join the organization. This broadens the VFW’s reach and strengthens its advocacy efforts on behalf of veterans and their dependents.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Keene highlights a powerful story of a veteran whose life was significantly improved by the PACT Act and the VFW’s assistance in navigating the VA claims process. This emphasizes the tangible impact the VFW has on veterans’ lives.

Beyond Advocacy: Building a Supportive Community

The interview concludes by acknowledging the importance of a family-friendly environment within the VFW. The VFW Auxiliary plays a key role in fostering this atmosphere, welcoming veterans and their families to connect and build a support system.

Join the Movement

The VFW is transforming into a dynamic organization dedicated to veterans of all ages. If you’re a veteran or know someone who is, visit ColoradoVFW to learn more about membership and how you can get involved. You’ll be surprised by what the VFW has to offer!
