"I’m not running against anyone; I’m running for the VFW. Each of my fellow candidates is a strong Comrade with their own vision, and that’s a good thing. The upcoming Town Hall in Idaho is your chance to hear from all of us, ask questions, and decide what direction you believe is best for our organization. Your voice, your vote, and our future all matter in this process." — Paul Herrera

Our campaign logo, the battlefield cross and red poppy, was chosen not for slogans, but for meaning. These symbols honor sacrifice, remembrance, and community. With the launch of our campaign store, you can wear this logo proudly and stand with veterans and their families.

At the September 2025 VFW National Council of Administration meeting in Kansas City, National Council Member Paul Herrera joined fellow leaders in shaping the future of the organization. From approving major investments in veteran memorials to reinforcing accountability and compliance, the Council focused on decisions that protect the VFW’s mission and strengthen its foundation. Paul shares highlights from the meeting and how they align with his vision for the VFW: Be Bold. Be Courageous. Be VFW
