Often asked why belong to the Veterans Service Organizations, such as Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW, American Legion and Amvets? This is WHY - it is important to belong to a Veteran Service Organization (VSO) The VA tried to sneak this rule change in, but the efforts of the VFW and others led to first the VA saying they weren't going to enforce it, and now to a full rescinding of the rule. If you are a Veteran or the family member of a Veteran and don't belong to a VSO, you need to! The strength of our voice in legislation and government is based on our membership! Join a VSO today!

The rule is rescinded! After intense pressure from the veteran community, to include VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will officially rescind its disability rating rule change. We thank VA for listening to all of us. https://bit.ly/4sxvEWv

U.S. Marine Corps Woman’s Reserve formed February 13, 1943 🇺🇸

Some revolutions don’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes they arrive with a signature… and a steady hand raised to serve.

On this day—February 13, 1943—the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve was formed. In the middle of World War II, women stepped forward to fill critical stateside roles—air control, parachute rigging, clerical work, driving, technical specialties—doing the essential work that helped free Marines for combat and strengthened the Corps when the nation needed every ounce of resolve.

And the story didn’t end when the war did.

On June 7, 1946, Commandant Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift approved retaining a small number of women on active duty—creating a trained nucleus for future mobilization. As demobilization moved forward—17,640 enlisted women and 820 officers—it was set to be completed by September 1, 1946. Of the roughly 20,000 women who joined during WWII, only 1,000 remained in the Reserve by July 1, 1946. Col. Ruth Cheney Streeter pushed for stronger leadership for women Marines, recommending the director’s position be elevated directly under the Commandant’s office.

Then came a defining milestone: on June 12, 1948, Congress passed legislation granting women regular military status, placing them on par with their male counterparts across the U.S. Armed Forces.

Today, we don’t just remember dates—we honor courage. Today, we celebrate you, the trails you blazed, and the legacy of service you left for future generations.
