by Webmaster

Our transition to a new VFW Forms Site and direct electronic Report Filing has been completed, and the new system is ready to be put to work.

While fine-tuning and other modifications will be taking place over the coming weeks, the new site is quite functional.

There are some fine points to acquaint yourself with, and we suggest you click on the following link for some brief instructions before plunging in to the revamped system.

Thank you one and all for your patience and cooperation while we made these important changes and additions to our information processing capabilities.

The next phase of the upgrade will entail no interruption of services, and will result in easily accessed summaries of activities in all areas. These summary reports will be coming on line over the next few weeks.

ONLINE FORMS UNDERGOING UPGRADE - PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 07:38 PM

by Webmaster

Your Wisconsin VFW WebCOM is currently undergoing some important upgrades.

Key among these is a revision of the online Forms system which has been growing steadily in popularity and use.

Over the next 24 to 48 hours, you will see some very useful changes which will enable you to enter information more efficiently and allow us to process that information and post updated results much more quickly than ever before.

Because these changes are somewhat complicated to install, some of you have already experienced a temporary disruption in your ability to report activity on line.

Please bear with us as we complete this critical transition. We recommend that your online reporting be held at least two days. We expect all online forms to be fully functional by Thursday, (9/4/08) and we are confident you will like the greatly improved system.

If you need to access other forms for downloading and printing, you may use THIS LINK temporarily. However, please do not submit any Post Action Reports until the upgrade is completed. We will post a notice on the blog to let everyone know when the new system is in place.

Thank you for your patience, and more importantly, Thank You for all you are doing for Veterans, their families and the Communities we serve.

Bill Knudson, Wisconsin VFW WebCOM Administrator

Dave Goeldner, Assistant Administrator & Community Service Chairman

"Infantrymen who served in ground combat during World
War II between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945, are eligible to
apply for a Bronze Star Medal (BSM), according to the U.S. Army Human
Resources Command. Approval is virtually guaranteed for those recipients
of the Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) or the Combat Medic's Badge
(CMB). Army regulations that govern this award may be found in AR
600-8-22, Military Awards.

Next of kin may apply for the posthumous award(s). If the veteran has
previously received a BSM during combat for a specific act of bravery,
he or his next of kin is still eligible to apply for a BSM."
