Chartered 2 May 1946 - Non-Profit Organization
Our Mission - To Support our Veterans and Troops!!

The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when Veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. there was no medical care or veterans pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves. In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. By 1915, membership grew to 5000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000.

Please keep our Department Commander and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Emily Drouillard, beloved wife of our VFW Department of Alabama State Commander, C**t Drouillard.

During this incredibly difficult time, we ask that you keep Commander Drouillard and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

The VFW is more than an organization; we are a family. In times of sorrow, we stand together to offer strength, compassion, and unwavering support to one another. We encourage our VFW family across Alabama to rally around Commander Drouillard and his loved ones during their time of need.

Please respect the family's privacy as they grieve. Information regarding services and arrangements will be shared as it becomes available and with the family's permission.
