VFW Post 9191 is one of 60 VFW Military Family Assistance Centers nationwide and in Europe.  These assistance centers was launched in June 2004 for military members and their families.  The new VFW Family Assistance Centers will expand the network of support services and emergency aid for family members of deployed servicemen by working in concert with local Military Family Support Centers (FSC) such as the Army Community Service (ACS) at Fort Hood.

"The Military Assistance Program (MAP) initiative is an additional resource for families to turn to in time of need," said Bud Haney, (MAP) Director of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Headquarters.  "The war and the extensive development of our servicemen and women have created a greater need for services to those left behind when a family member deploys.  Sometime the need is as simple as listening, while sometimes the need is financial.  We want family members, as well as their deployed spouse, to know the Veterans of Foreign Wars is available for help.
