Error in VFW Magazine March Issue
From Dan West at VFW National: "There is an error on page 12 of the March 2022 issue of VFW Magazine. A photo shows the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the accompanying caption states that it is a VFW qualifying medal. That is incorrect. The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal is a qualifier for VFW membership. The GWOT Service Medal is not. VFW magazine has corrected the error on its digital version and a correction will be printed in the May 2022 issue. We apologize for the confusion."
