I'm a newbie here and I'm trying to find out where/how to join the VFW. I live in N. Muskegon, Michigan and I don't see any forms to fill out? Can you help? I believe I qualify. Thank you.

I just qualified for the VA Medical Health insurance but I'm a little short on any medals so I assume I am not eligible for the VFW. Thank you for your responses.

You can join the AMVETS. They are smaller but have similar services for veterans and the community.
