With a diverse roster of Post-9/11 veterans, we are proudly building a “new generation” VFW post in the largest, oldest, and most powerful war veterans service organization in America. Chartered in September 2015 by veterans from Southern Connecticut State University, the Connecticut National Guard, the102d Infantry Regiment, Gateway Community College, the University of New Haven, Yale University, the city of New Haven and from across Connecticut and America, the VFW New Haven earned All-American status in July 2017 and 2021—the highest unit award in the VFW—placing our new crew in the top echelon of posts worldwide. Now, the VFW New Haven is the largest veterans service organization in the Elm City, a registered IRS Section 501(c)(19) nonprofit, and continues to revitalize the local veteran community, benefitting our town, our state, and our great nation.
