  • Mail Call - Letter to the Editor Submission

    While the staff at VFW magazine appreciates all the feedback we get, there is simply not enough room in Mail Call each month to publish all letters to the editor. Please note that VFW magazine only publishes letters to the editor that are 100 words or less and pertain to the previous month's editorial content. If you would like to submit a letter, email is preferred.

    Attn: Reunions and Claims
    406 W. 34th St.

    Reunion listings must be submitted four months in advance of reunion date. Proposed reunions will be listed only when space is available. This is a free service to VFW members only.

    Readers are urged to help veterans seeking claim substantiation statements, and should respond directly to the person listed at the end of the claim assistance request. This service is provided for VFW members who are in the process of filing a VA claim.

    If you need assistance in preparing a claim, contact your VFW Service Officer located at VA medical centers and regional offices.
