Recognizing that the effects of war can last for generations, the National Home's campus community is open to families of active-duty military personnel, veterans, and descendants of members of the VFW and its Auxiliary.

This free service offers information, creates connections and gives hope to struggling families across the country. It can also serve as the first step to living at the National Home.
