What is the VFW?
Established in 1899 by Veterans returning from action in the Spanish-American War, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of The United States (VFW) was formed to help these soldiers, sailors and Marines re-adjust to civilian life and to protect their benefits. In their over a century of service, members of the VFW have been at the battle front in the protection of the rights of Veterans nationwide. Many VFW Posts such as our own Canton VFW 1984 of Canton, Illinois, also take a leading role in community activities and service to our neighbors.
Meet Our Officers
The officers of our VFW Post are dedicated veterans who volunteer their time, leadership, and experience to serve both fellow veterans and the community. Through their commitment to the values of service, honor, and patriotism, they work tirelessly to support programs that assist veterans, promote youth and community activities, and ensure the continued strength of our organization. We are proud to introduce the men and women whose leadership helps make our Post a welcoming and impactful place for veterans and their families.
