History
The founders of the Auxiliary VFW placed the greatest emphasis on a program developed to assist veterans returning from battle and assimilating into civilian life. Today the organization continues to help those coming directly from the battlefield or from the hospital as they try to re-establish themselves and maintain normal, happy lives with their families and their communities.
One of the most successful projects under this program is Operation Uplink. VFW and Auxiliary members across the country raise money to purchase virtual PINs and Internet cafes for veterans and overseas soldiers.
