Welcome to the Texas Department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
VFW formed in 1899 in response to the adversities faced by veterans of late 19th-century conflicts, our organization has expanded into a global advocacy group with over 1.5 million members. We continue to uphold our founders' legacy through vibrant community service and comprehensive support programs, ensuring every veteran receives the respect and benefits they deserve. With the Cross of Malta symbolizing our values of courage and honor, we invite you to join us in celebrating our history and contributing to a future where every veteran's voice matters.
