Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at vfwauxiliary9810@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
You must be related to a veteran who has served overseas in a location of foreign conflict, earning the campaign medals eligible. That veteran can be a living or deceased spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent or grandchild.
Step- and adopted parents, children, siblings (and half-siblings), grandparents and grandchildren are considered the same as biological parents, children, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren and may join the VFW Auxiliary under their VFW-eligible veteran.
The most common document is a DD 214, which lists the veteran’s service dates and campaign medals. But you can also use other separation documents, such as documents showing service in Korea, Hostile Fire, or Imminent Danger Pay on pay records, and also sometimes other documentation if you don’t have one of these.
The IRS determines the degrees of separation from the veteran that qualify for membership in a veterans’ service organization auxiliary. The relationship must be within two degrees of “consanguinity” in order to be eligible. That means two generations back (i.e. parents or grandparents) or forward (i.e. children or grandchildren).
