VFW Department of Illinois:
"We are active on behalf of veterans and their communities. We organize blood drives. We lobby our elected officials on behalf of the nation's veterans. We participate in many different community service organizations such as Make A Difference Day, National Volunteer Week, Toys for Tots and March of Dimes.
We provide services and support to veterans, their spouses and their communities. We act as a VA liaison to help tackle problems ranging from guaranteeing VA disability compensation to acquiring well-deserved military awards. In Illinois we have four Veterans Homes for the elderly and disabled, some specially equipped to care for Alzheimer patients. We perform graveside funeral service rites to honor the memory of a deceased comrade. We will always be here to ensure the honor and recognition due our veterans, in life and in death."
