The VFW National Home for Children was founded in 1925 as a place where the
families left behind by war -- mothers and children, brothers and sisters -- could
remain together, keeping the family circle intact even when their serviceman didn't
come home

Today's families face different challenges -- reintegration, post-
traumatic stress, high unemployment and rehabilitation from battlefield injuries, among others -- and the National Home
has evolved over our decades-long history to meet those changing
needs.

National Home for Children to help them build better lives together.
