Why was the veterans bureau established?
The Veterans Bureau was established in 1921 to consolidate and manage various veterans' services and benefits, which had previously been handled by multiple agencies. Its primary goal was to provide comprehensive care and support to returning World War I veterans, addressing their needs for medical care, rehabilitation, and financial assistance. The bureau aimed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services available to veterans, ultimately leading to the establishment of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in 1989.
Why did the VFW FORM?
The Spanish-American War of 1898 was the first "Foreign" war fought on foreign soil by US forces. In 1899 veterans of that war formed the "Veterans of FOREIGN Wars" to protect themselves from political moves that would/could short change veterans and associated benefits. The first established military veterans group had been GAR (Grand Army of the Republic), which consisted of (Union) US Civil War veterans; they died out when the last Civil War (GAR member) veteran passed on. Each veterans group is normally created to protect the benefits of that particular veterans "group"; as the years go by, politicians perform budget cuts...which often effects veterans. The "American Legion" was formed by WW1 vets; AMVETs (American Veterans) was formed by WW2 vets. The most unique veterans group was the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America); this group was (often) NOT allowed to join established veterans organizations during the 1960's; so they formed their own group in about 1978. The VVA's motto, is "they will never turn their back on another veteran."
