1. Because since 1899 our members have worked consistently and effectively for the welfare of ex-service personnel, for communities and for the nation.
2. Because the Veterans of Foreign Wars gives direct aid where needed.
3. Because the Veterans of Foreign Wars - a strongly democratic organization in which the rank and file members, or "the troops", determine V.F.W. policies and leadership. There are no "kingmakers" in the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Every member has a voice and a vote. Every member can gain an office through his own desires and abilities.
4. Because Veterans of Foreign Wars objectives are live action goals, not just smooth sounding platitudes.
5. The fifth...very personal...reason is that only Veterans who served in Combat Theatres of war can belong to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. That means sociability, cooperation and Comradeship among Veterans of similar experiences...between Veterans who "speak the same language".
