The VFW has been doing this longer than the VA...That pretty much says it all! Starting tomorrow, over 100 service officers and I will begin the basic and advanced service officer training classes the VFW provides. There are over 2000 VA-accredited VFW representatives across America and abroad, helping veterans fight for the VA benefits they have earned.
The total amount the VFW has helped veterans recoup in VA disability compensation and pension benefits is over $8.2 Billion! In FY 2018 alone over $1.4 Billion in new benefits was paid to veterans.
We certainly are doing this the right way, and we will continue doing it for the next hundred years!
