MILITARY ORDER OF FOREIGN WARS

The Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States (MOFW) was established on October 25, 1894, in New York City. Its founding was inspired by the desire of a group of military officers who had served in foreign wars to create an organization that would honor and preserve the memory of their service.

The initial impetus for the formation of MOFW came from Colonel Edmund Rice, a veteran of the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. He gathered a group of fellow veterans and organized the first meeting of the order. At this meeting, they adopted a constitution and bylaws, as well as the official name, the "Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States."

The organization's primary mission was to honor and perpetuate the memory of those who served in foreign wars and campaigns. It aimed to provide a fraternal and patriotic environment for its members and to foster camaraderie among officers who had experienced the challenges and sacrifices of serving in overseas conflicts.

As the MOFW grew, it expanded its objectives to include promoting national security and defense, preserving historical records related to foreign wars, and fostering a deeper understanding of the importance of military service in safeguarding the nation's interests abroad.

Over the years, the Military Order of Foreign Wars has participated in numerous ceremonies, events, and community service activities. It has also worked to support veterans and their families while advocating for their rights and benefits.

Membership in MOFW is restricted to commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Armed Forces who have served honorably in foreign wars or campaigns. Honorary membership may also be extended to individuals who have made significant contributions to the military or national defense.

Throughout its history, the Military Order of Foreign Wars has remained committed to its core principles of honoring veterans, preserving military history, and promoting patriotism. It continues to serve as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those who have served the United States in foreign conflicts.
