The VFW Military Assistance Program (MAP) is the outstretched
hand between the VFW and active duty, Guard, and Reserve military
units. MAP offers grants to VFW Posts who participate in military
unit functions, such as sponsoring "Farewell and Welcome Home
Activities," "Family Readiness Group" events, or other sponsorship
ideas.
MAP also links with VFW’s Operation Uplink and Unmet Needs programs
to create an all-star team of military assistance. MAP and Operation
Uplink have provided more than 200 computers to set up Internet
Cafes where service members’ families may e-mail their deployed
loved ones |
We are looking for people and businesses that can offer free or reduced cost services to the families of deployed troops that are serving in Harms Way. If you can help,
contact one of our officers.
Bill Edmonds (MAP Chairman)

An Open Letter to Teachers and Youth Leaders:
Thank you for the time, effort and commitment you invest
each year in America’s young people. Because of you, our nation
continues to produce scholars, dreamers and leaders who benefit the
entire world. We, the nearly 3 million members of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars (VFW) and its Ladies Auxiliary share your commitment to
America’s youth. Each year, the VFW and its Ladies Auxiliary provide
millions of dollars worth of awards, U.S. Savings bonds and college
scholarships to students across the U.S. and overseas. The purpose of
these awards is to encourage personal growth and foster a greater
understanding and appreciation for America, its history and values. This
brochure is provided to acquaint and
equip you to use the VFW’s programs to benefit those young lives you
touch each day. Again, thank you for all you do. If we can serve you in
any way, please contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Steve Van Buskirk
National Director of VFW Programs
