An individual must meet all three in order to become a member. They are as follows:
1: Citizenship – must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. National.
2: Honorable Service – must have served in the Armed Forces of the United States and
either received a discharge of Honorable or General (Under Honorable Conditions) or
be currently serving.
3: Service in a war, campaign, or expedition on foreign soil or in hostile waters*.
This can be proven by any of the following:
- An authorized campaign medal (see full list of medals and badges at VFW National Website)
- 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
*This information is usually available through a veteran’s DD-214. If other information is needed
or if a veteran’s DD-214 is not complete, they can contact the National Personnel Records Center online or at 314-801-0800 to request more information.
