Welcome to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, VFW Department of Kentucky.

The VFW Department of Kentucky is committed to serving Veterans, service members, and their families across the Commonwealth. Through advocacy, service programs, community engagement, and benefits assistance, we work to ensure that those who have borne the battle receive the respect, recognition, and support they have earned.

Our Posts throughout Kentucky serve as centers of service and leadership in their communities. We stand as advocates for Veterans’ rights at the local, state, and national levels while preserving the legacy and traditions of Kentucky’s combat Veterans, past and present.

We invite you to explore our site to learn more about our programs, our mission, and how the VFW continues to serve those who have served.
