WELCOME TO VFW AUXILIARY OF WISCONSIN

We Rise By Lifting Others

Welcome to the Wisconsin Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. We are an organization consisting of fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, grandfathers, grandmothers, grandsons and granddaughters of those persons, both male and female, that have honorably served in the Armed Forces of the United States. We believe in Americanism, which has been defined as an unfailing love of country; loyalty to its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all enemies, undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.

We serve and support the veterans, active duty soldiers and their families of the United States. For, they are the ones that put their lives on the line to allow us the daily freedoms we enjoy.

We Thank You For Your Patience

 

The VFW Auxiliary Department of Wisconsin has completed the initial updates to our website for the new Auxiliary year. Leadership information and key resources have been refreshed to reflect the current term.

Please be aware that not all resources have been updated at this time. Some documents, forms, and materials may be revised following the National Convention. We encourage members to check back regularly for the most current information.

As we move forward this year, we are guided by the spirit of our Department theme: "We Rise by Lifting Others.” Together, we support one another and our mission, while across this nation, "From Sea to Shining Sea, Honoring Veterans Who Keep Us Free,” we remain steadfast in our commitment to those who have served.

If you notice any incorrect information, broken links, or experience technical issues, please contact us so we can address them promptly.

Thank you for your patience during this transition and for your continued support of the VFW Auxiliary Department of Wisconsin as we work together to serve veterans, their families, and our communities.
