Veterans Commission Help

Missouri Veterans Commission (MVC) Funding The VFW Department of Missouri, strongly recommends resourcing Missouri Veterans Commission (MVC) completely from general revenue. Why do we support this? • A stable revenue source that is programmable across future budget years is vital to fulfilling the core mission of providing support to Missouri veterans. • Under the current scheme, MVC funding for the operation and maintenance of State Veterans Homes, State Veterans Cemeteries, Veterans Service Officers Program, Veterans Grant Program and other veterans needs comes from three major sources. These are the Dept of Veteran Affairs, Missouri Gaming Commission and the Missouri Veterans Health and Care Fund. • While this approach was well intentioned, instability in these revenues makes long term budgetary programming problematic and often increases operating expenses. We recommend that beginning in FY 2024, the MVC be resourced completely from general revenue. This would provide budgetary stability for the critical veterans services resourced by the MVC as well as enable the efficiencies achievable by programming activities across budget years.

New Post Location

Signage located on 45 Highway (aka 64th St., aka Tom Watson Pkwy) just west of the Nationals round-about. Between the community garden and the dental/fire house on the south side of the road. Address might be 10903.
