(DECLARATION OF PURPOSE.... i |
I|^ For the widows ond orphans of America’s war dead—
whose losses con never be measured in dollars—gen
erous pensions to protect their future security.
2 P°r t'ie nation’s disabled veterans-liberal compensa
tion policies; the finest hospital facilities; educational
jp and vocational training benefits that will enable these men
T ' to achieve independence despite their physical handicaps.
I A - 2 Fot all veterans—the Servicemen’s Readjustment Ad
** of 1944 (G. I. Bill) with such amendments as may
* prove necessary in the practical application of this ad
|t; when the Armed Forces are demobilized.
^ For all veterans and widows of veterans -— civil
service preference in employment; the assurance
of jobs and opportunities under the traditional American
system of free enterprise unhampered by la-es which
eliminate the profit incentive, monopolies which destroy
competition, restrictions or tTade barriers that discourage
capital investments and industrial expansion. |
C Fot a durable peace—participation in a world alliance
among freedom-loving nations to suppress future
wars; national defense policies which will include universal
military training; maintenance of our military strength on
a basis which will enable the United States to protect its
far-flung interests against future attacks. *
^ For a better America by fighting for every principle |
which gives added strength to the Bill of Rights.
These six points compose our reply to the questions
"What are the purposes of the V. F. W.? How do you
propose to help the veteran? What are your plans for
a better and stronger America? What is the V. F. W.
1 doing to prevent a new war 25 years hence?”
Sweat and toil, the sacrifice of human lives, deeply
rooted emotions and common sense have all been
molded into this creed or declaration of purpose. It
aims to set forth in dear detail what we mean when
a
we say it is our sincere desire to honor the dead by
helping the living.
You who have served in the Armed Forces, on
foreign soil or in hostile waters, will find a spirit of
comradeship wfthin the V. F. W. that will be important
to you in terms of practical advice and aid based upon
years of experience. Among the hundreds of thousands
of World War II veterans who already belong to our
organization, you will find the fellowship of mutual
understanding and a common language.
Visit your V. F. W. Post today. Talk with tho Service Officer who is well quaunea to neip ynu in solving your
problems as an overseas veteran. In turn, we invite you to join with us in support of the principles to which we
are pledged as a fraternity composed exclusively of America's overseas veterans.
