We Are Here For YOU
Why are Veteran Service Organizations like the VFW and American Legion memberships dropping? VFW is down to 1.5 million, about half of what it was 30 years ago. The American Legion is seeing the same steady decline.
It’s Not because people stopped supporting veterans. Here’s what’s really going on:
Our WWII, Korea, and Vietnam members are passing. Those generations built our posts. We’re losing hundreds of them every day. In North St Paul, Legion Post 39 and VFW Post 1350 had over 548 man hours from April to June 2026 rending Military Honors, and the request keep coming. Roseville has similar numbers.
Younger vets live differently. Post-9/11 vets connect online and balance kids, jobs, and drill weekends. Look around to see how you can draw them in. Maybe changing your noon general membership meeting to the evening, holding membership meetings on Zoom, ect...
So why should veterans join a Veterans Service Organization today? Because our WWII, Korea, and Vietnam fought for your benefits by showing up in force for our own Veterans Day on the Hill, they provided trained service officers to help with VA claims for free. The Legion, VFW, and DAV secure billions for vets every year. Our Minnesota St. Paul VA Regional Benefits office has processed over $120 billion in total payouts distributed nationally. And that number is growing.
It’s for your family too. Kid-friendly events, scholarships, youth programs, plus the Auxiliary and Sons of The American Legion give the whole family a place.
We protect what you served for. Flags around town, school programs, honor guards for funerals.
We keep patriotism alive right here at home.
The posts that stay active are holding steady, and some are even growing. When we’re out putting up flags, helping with claims, and hosting events, you’d expect younger vets to show up. But - Many still don’t. But groups like the Sons of The American Legion and the Riders are bringing in new folks every day. If you hear "this is the way we've always done it" ask them for an opportunity to try something new.
If you’re a vet and haven’t been to your Post lately, stop in. Ask what we’re working on. You might be surprised and want to volunteer.
If you’re not a vet, thank a member and ask how you can help. It’s going to take the whole community to get our local organizations through these trying times.
We need to keep the colors flying, and Your VFW and American Legion are here to make sure that happens.
