WASHINGTON — Last night, the United States and its Israeli ally began combat operations against Iran in an operation dubbed Epic Fury.
As war once again comes to the Middle East, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) asks all Americans to keep our brave service members overseas in their thoughts and prayers. At this very hour, they are carrying out difficult and dangerous missions in defense of our nation and our allies.
The VFW understands all too well that freedom is never free and that our world remains a dangerous place. America’s prepared, professional and resolute all-volunteer force continues to stand watch, serving on the front lines far from home so that our families may live in safety.
We will never forget the weight of that responsibility, nor the sacrifices borne by those in uniform and their loved ones. The VFW remains unwavering in our commitment to support you and your families, advocate for you, and ensure the American people fully understand the significance of your service and sacrifice in defense of liberty. Finally, when your mission and service to our country is complete, we will make sure that our elected officials maintain the care and benefits you earned and Honor the Contract you have upheld.
