Welcome Veterans of Foreign Wars members


You fought for our nation. The VFW recognizes your sacrifices and stands by your side to make sure you receive the benefits and care you’re entitled to. At the same time, the VFW also helps to ensure those benefits are affordable.

VFW’s exclusive provider, Emergency Assistance Plus® (EA+®), gives you the advantage of emergency travel protection – extended at a discounted rate for VFW members.

EA+ helps protect you and your wallet in case of a medical emergency when you’re traveling. That can be especially important when you consider that the average cost of emergency medical transportation can run as high as thousands of dollars.

Sharon and Joe B., Florida

Slip and Fall Requires Air Ambulance Home


“All of you at Emergency Assistance Plus were there not only for Joe, but for me. I wanted to go home and felt I would be lost in Spain forever. They listened to me cry and comforted me by telling me I was not alone, and help was on the way, and I would not be left. I had a very emotional time with all of this. I can’t tell you enough how comforting all of you were to me.”
