BIG FOUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

The Big Four, comprised of the largest veterans service organizations in Indiana, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and National Guard Association of Indiana, is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for military veterans and their families through legislative advocacy. Representing over 130,500 Hoosier veterans, our combined voice is the most influential in Indiana.

The location of our Washington, D.C., office allows us to monitor all legislation affecting veterans, alert VFW membership to key legislation under consideration and to actively lobby Congress and the administration on veterans' issues. National Legislative Service establishes the VFW's legislative priorities and advocates on veterans' behalf. By testifying at congressional committee hearings and interacting with congressional members, the VFW has played an instrumental role in nearly every piece of veterans' legislation passed since the beginning of the 20th century. Everything we do on Capitol Hill is with the VFW’s Priority Goals and veterans' well-being in mind. With the strength of the more than 1.4 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliary, our voice on Capitol Hill cannot be ignored!

Among the VFW's most recent and important legislative victories was expanding college education benefits for military service members with the signing of the Forever GI Bill, and ensuring America's service members and veterans receive the care they deserve - whenever and wherever they need it - by passing the VA MISSION Act.
