Title: VFW Award for Seniors/Officers?
Post by: chiles on August 15, 2007, 06:23:30 PM
I'd heard that there is a VFW award out there for senior members. Is this true and can someone send me to where information about it is located? Thanks!

Not that I am aware of.  A search of the KB only returns the cadet awards.

There is no VFW ribbon for Senior Members.  The VFW has two ribbons and they're both for Cadets; one for Cadet NCO's and the other for Cadet Officer's.

On the Website called "U.S. Decorations Ribbon Rackbuilder" located at http://www.medals.lava.pl/us/uschk.htm I have noted that they show a ribbon for Veterans of Foreign Wars Officer Award (sr. members only), but this is in error.  It is actually the ribbon which the Cadet Officer wears.

I hope that helps.
