Brain damage and other damage to internal glands/organs is caused by blast overpressure. Blast over pressure comes from firing rifle/machine gun fire, mortars, artillery, etc. it’s not just being hit by an IED or incoming fire. It’s also cumulative, so please get checked if you are having issues.

Our Senior vice John Quintal is on a roll with recruiting!

🇺🇸 Recognizing Our Kansas VFW Membership Leaders! 🇺🇸

The VFW Department of Kansas is proud to recognize the Posts, Districts, and individual recruiters leading the way in New & Reinstated Members from July 1 through August 31, 2026.

Congratulations to our membership leaders, and thank you to everyone across Kansas who continues reaching out to eligible veterans, sharing the VFW story, and growing our organization.

Important Note: These totals reflect Annual New and Reinstated Members only. New Life Members are not included because updated Life Member counts have not yet been released by VFW National Headquarters. Once those numbers become available, they will be reflected in future membership updates.

Every new member strengthens our Posts, our communities, and our collective voice for veterans.

Keep recruiting. Keep growing. Together, we get it done!
