The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) first allowed female members in 1989. This change came after a long-standing policy that restricted membership to men only, specifically those who had served in overseas conflicts. The decision to include women was part of a broader recognition of their contributions to military service. Since then, female membership has grown significantly within the organization.
