The History of the VFW
In 1901, Philippine Veterans in Altoona and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, started the Philippine War Veterans. The following year, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, became the home of the American Veterans of the Philippine and China Wars. In 1905, these three groups merged with the American Veterans of Foreign Service.
In 1913, the American Veterans of Foreign Service was amalgamated with the Colorado Society, Army of the Philippines and became the Army of the Philippine-Cuba and Puerto Rico, then changed their name to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.
The VFW was chartered by Congress in 1936.
