October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

According to the National Breast Cancer Association, "Breast cancer death rates in the United States have dropped by 44% since 1989. That’s not a coincidence. For 40 years, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has helped raise awareness of breast cancer across the nation. It has encouraged millions to take action, resulting in increased early detection and advancements in treatment that have saved more than half a million lives."

The VFW Auxiliary became involved in raising cancer awareness and funds in 1947, when we initiated the cancer fellowship fund as part of what would become the Cancer Aid & Research Program. In 1952, the scope of this initiative was widened to include grants to help members suffering from cancer in 1952. Cancer Aid & Research is no longer one of our Continuing Programs, but many members and Auxiliaries continue to work with cancer research centers, cancer hospitals, Relay for Life and more, and the National organization continues to provide cancer grants to eligible members in need. To learn more and to apply, log into MALTA and look for the tab farthest to the right in your VFW Auxiliary Member Portal.

Today, Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, is the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001. Nearly 3,000 innocent people were killed that day; more have died since from toxic exposure and related cancers, including thousands of first responders.

Today, our hearts and thoughts are with the loved ones of those whose lives were lost in New York City, Washington, D.C. that day, and Pennsylvania, and those who has passed in the years since as a result of toxic exposure.

We know that many VFW Auxiliaries across the country are honoring those lost and recognizing the day's heroes today and throughout the week during remembrance ceremonies, via donations made to organizations that help survivors and by showing appreciation to their local first responders, in addition to supporting our military and veterans, as is our mission. In addition, we encourage you to share the titles in our Patriotism Through Literacy Youth Activities initiative book list that help today's children understand what happened on September 11, 2001.

Thank you for your Unwavering Support for Uncommon Heroes as you continue your tireless work in your communities and beyond on this difficult day.

2025-2026 VFW Auxiliary National President Lois Callahan of Arkansas, then-Chaplain, gave the prayer during the Celebrating America's Freedom Event held on September 10, 2022, at the site of the crash of Flight 93. During this reverent ceremony, then-National President Jane Reape of New York (center, behind Callahan) gave a speech in which she recognized each of the passengers and flight crew by name, remembering them for the people they were before terrorists took their lives.

In the words of Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 Captain Jason Dahl, “If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate."

2025-2026 National Americanism Ambassador Diana Russell-Milton's new blog is now available behind MALTA Login - Member Resources - Ambassador Blogs. In this, she focuses on four key patriotic days in September and explains why they are so important.

Russell-Milton's blog is informative and interesting, so check it out today!

(As a reminder, each Ambassador's headshot and title is shared with two smaller photos of members working/representing the National Programs. We would like to update these photos throughout the year, so be sure to send your very best shots to info@vfwauxiliary.org with Auxiliary in Action in the subject line. Thank you!)

Happy Grandparents Day🤗

Today is Grandparents Day!

The VFW Auxiliary would like to wish a "Happy Grandparents Day" to all our members who also happen to be grandparents, and also to celebrate the grandparents of our members. Throughout the day we will be sharing photos and quotes submitted by our members in which they recognize their grandparents and the way they've been inspired by them to be involved in the VFW Auxiliary.

Are you familiar with VFW Auxiliary Cancer Grants?

The VFW Auxiliary offers cancer grants to members who are battling cancer.

Eligibility requirements:
• Applicant must be a member of the VFW Auxiliary for one (1) full year.
• Current dues must be paid before applying for a cancer grant.
• After twelve (12) months have passed from date of diagnosis or last treatment, application will not be accepted.
• A member is allowed two (2) grants during lifetime. Twelve (12) months must elapse between new diagnosis and/or treatment from date of first grant for a second application to be considered. Continuous treatment which lasts beyond the twelve (12) month period will qualify for a second grant.
• Application will be rejected if member has been deceased for longer than 30 days.

The grant amount is currently $550.00 and funds are paid directly to the member or, in the case of a deceased member, to their estate. Funds are dispersed 2-4 weeks following the acceptance and approval of the completed and signed application.

Please read the instructions carefully before submitting an application. The most common reason an application is denied is due to missing information from either the member or physician.

To access the application, log into your MALTA account.
Questions? Contact National Headquarters at 816.561.8655.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month and the VFW Auxiliary is committed to changing the stigma surrounding mental health in America. Below are some ways you can help to lessen the stigma surrounding depression and mental illness and decrease the number of veteran su***des.

• Visit https://www.veteranscrisisline.net and click on topics under "Education and Advice" for resources.
• Learn the Five Signs that may mean someone is in emotional pain and might need help: https://www.changedirection.org/ -signs
• Purchase the Auxiliary Su***de Awareness Prevention Pin from the VFW Store: http://vfwstore.org/products/32033. When someone asks you about your pin, tell them that the VFW Auxiliary is concerned about the rates of su***des among veterans and military service members; we want everyone to be aware of the unique stresses they face.
• Share the Veterans Crisis Line number: dial 988, then press 1
