How Does a Person Become a Member of the VFW?
Eligibility The Veterans of Foreign Wars is not an organization that has open enrollment. There are strict eligibility standards that must be met before a person can become a full VFW member. Members must have 30 days in a row in Korea or sixty cumulative days in Korea at different times. Service members who receive campaign medals for serving overseas are eligible for VFW membership as are military personnel who at one time received either hostile fire pay or imminent danger pay, or both. Members also must be military members in good standing or must have been discharged honorably. Dishonorably discharged service members are not eligible for VFW membership even if they meet all the other eligibility qualifications. Members must also be United States citizens.

The application process can be completed online or with a local representative. Questions as
