Denham Springs Memorial VFW Post 7017 Our Mission: To foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and our communities.

To advocate on behalf of all veterans. 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 5,000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000.

Veterans have been clear for years: this is unfair, and it needs to be fixed.
The Major Richard Star Act is how Congress can finally address it.
Take action and make your voice impossible to ignore.
