Whether your
Post or Auxiliary has 10 or 10,000 National Home Life Members, the
children and families of our nation’s veterans benefit from your
support. The National Home has established a program to recognize
outstanding Life Membership achievements.
To begin the process, contact the National Home to request a printout
of the Life Memberships on record for your organization. Once you
make any corrections and return the printout to the Donor Relations
Department, any awards due your organization can be requested.
Thank you for your interest in National Home Life Membership Awards!
Please review the information below and contact the Donor Relations
Department at (866) 4-VFWNHC with any questions.
Life Membership
Awards Program
A
plaque is awarded to any Post or Auxiliary that has reached a Life
Member milestone as listed below. The plaque will display
the Post or Auxiliary name, the award level, and the date it was
awarded. Although the National Home attempts to track which
Posts or Auxiliaries qualify for an award, it is the Post or Auxiliary's
responsibility to request a report showing the Life Members to determine
if they qualify for an award.
Post
or Auxiliary Awards
- 25 Life Members
- 50 Life Members
- 100 Life Members
- 250 Life Members
- 500 Life Members
- 750 Life Members
- 1,000 Life Members
Post
or Auxiliary members that are Life Members of the National Home
or Post and Auxiliary non-members that the Post or Auxiliary has
recruited to become an Associate Life Member of the National Home
count towards the awards.
Awards
are for Post or Auxiliaries separately and may not be combined to
earn an award. If an Associate Life Member is to be counted
toward the Post or Auxiliary award, the Associate Life Member's
application must indicate such.
Department
Awards
Two
plaques, one for the Department Commander/ President and one for
the Department National Home Chairman, will be presented annually
to any VFW or Ladies Auxiliary Department that has at least 100
members that become a new Life Member of the VFW National Home for
Children. This plaque will include the Department name, Department
Commander/President, Department National Home Chairman name, the
number of new Life Members and the year.
The
year begins July 1 and ends June 30. The National Home will
notify each qualifying Department of their award. Award winners
will be announced in the summer edition of The Patriot Observer.
Plaques will be awarded each year at the VFW and Ladies Auxiliary
National Convention or mailed if needed.
It is important to note that these awards
are for new Life Members or Associate Life Members and do
not include additional Life Memberships for those that were previously
a Life Member of the National Home.
