You must be a veteran who has honorably served overseas in an area of foreign conflict in order to join the VFW. However, if you are not eligible for VFW membership but are the parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, child or grandchild of a qualifying veteran, you can apply for membership in the VFW Auxiliary.
 
Applications to join Post 4190's Auxiliary are located at the post. Please bring proof of the veteran's service such as: DD-214, Official military record, Veteran's VFW membership card (if they are already a VFW member). 

You can contact the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) for copies of your Leave and Earnings Statements (LES) or they can direct you to your service-specific finance office for those records.

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) does not issue service medals; that is a function of each military service department. Requests for the issuance or replacement of military service medals, decorations and awards should be directed to the specific branch of the military in which the veteran served. 
 
The NPRC provides the information for where to request awards on line or by mail. https://https:www.archives.gov/veterans/replace-medals
