Seasons Greetings from the VFW

Looking forward to the new year while Celebrating the Legacy of 125 years

WASHINGTON (Dec. 23, 2024) – With the end of another year upon us, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) warmly extends safe and happy holiday wishes to the veterans, service members and families of our great nation. As we come together, let us acknowledge the service and sacrifices of military members past and present who have defended our American way of life and freedom to observe this season according to our values. Let us also pause and give thanks to those currently standing the watch around the world and who are unable to be with family and friends during this time. Most of all, the VFW calls on all to reflect and think of Gold Star families, for whom the holidays are reminders of the ultimate price their loved ones paid in service to our country. 

Looking back on 2024, we are immensely grateful for our members, supporters, partners, allies and every service member, veteran, family member and survivor we have had the privilege and honor of serving. For 125 years, the VFW has relentlessly pursued the greatest good for veterans, from within our communities to the halls of Congress, and our 126th year will be no different. We celebrate the arrival of a new year and the countless opportunities to continue serving that it brings. 

From the VFW family to yours, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
