WELCOME TO DEPT. OF MASS VFW AUX

BE THE CHANGE

Welcome to the Massachusetts Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. We are an organization consisting of husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, grandfathers, grandmothers, grandsons and granddaughters of those persons, both male and female, that have honorably served in the Armed forces of the United States. We believe in Americanism, which has been defined as an unfailing love of country, loyalty to its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all enemies, undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.

We serve and support the veterans, active duty soldiers and their families of the United States. For they are the ones that put their lives on the line to allow us the daily freedoms we enjoy.
