Wilmington,NC is fortunate to have a large veterans population. The Wilmington Chapter of the VMW is here to help those veterans through local community efforts and working with our national organization to raise awareness of veteran issues.

As Veterans of Modern Warfare, we share much in common with Veterans of previous wars and eras.  We have experienced similar hardships of military life, often under harsh combat conditions. VMW members are generally younger than the members of other existing Veterans service organizations. We’re used to serving in organizations that are ethnically and socially diverse. Most of us are fully comfortable with the Internet, email, and mobile communications and we expect rapid, accurate, and consistent responses to questions, concerns, and applications for federal and state Veterans’ benefits.

Our members face challenges unique to those service members who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other modern battlefields. If this sounds like you, and your honorable military service in the U.S. Armed Forces (including federally activated Guard and Reserve) was August 1990 or later, you’re already one of us.

Join the Wilmington VMW.
