By becoming a VFW Life member, you make a lifetime commitment to serving your fellow service members and veterans. That's something to take great pride in.
You'll also enjoy many great benefits of being a Life member! You will:
You can become a VFW Life member by making a one-time payment, or you can pay for your Life membership through our installment plan with an initial $45 payment and the Life membership amount billed over an 11-month period.
Legacy Life membership enables VFW Life members to leave a lasting impression on our great organization.
Three prestigious levels of Legacy Life membership are available: Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Each level offers generous benefits reserved exclusively for Legacy Life members. Once your Legacy Life membership begins, an annual endowment in your name will be made to your Post, Department and the national organization. You will feel confident knowing your contributions to our organization are not only helping today’s veterans but the veterans of tomorrow.
You may also purchase a Memorial Legacy in the name of a deceased VFW Annual or Life member to help future generations know and remember their sacrifice and contributions.

MWR stands for Morale, Welfare & Recreation Center. It is a dedicated space created to support the morale, well-being, and resilience of our service members, veterans, and their families.
The MWR Center is designed to be a modern, welcoming environment where soldiers and veterans can connect, decompress, train, and recharge. It is also a place for the families, friends, and supporters of our veterans to gather—offering space for gaming, fellowship, and meaningful connection.
This center reflects our ongoing commitment to those who have served and those who continue to serve, while strengthening the community that stands beside them.
The MWR was made possible through the generous support of the Elks Lodge, the City of Elberton, local civic organizations, businesses, and community donors. Their partnership turned a shared vision into a lasting investment in our veterans and community.
