Welcome to the Military Order of Foreign Wars for the State of New York!  On behalf of our members, I encourage you to visit our pages to learn more about the rich history of our New York Commandery.


The Military Order of Foreign Wars was founded in New York City on 27 December 1894.  Since then, the membership of the Order has included presidents, members of Congress, distinguished military leaders as well as their lineal descendants.  


We emphasize the importance of fellowship among our members, each with different talents and convictions, all united in their appreciation for service to our nation during a time of war. 


Our organization supports our veterans and promotes the value of their military history as an enduring part of the story of our nation and its people. We do this in several ways: 


1) Perpetuating the honorable service of our veterans through our mutual fellowship.


2) Promoting the intrinsic value of our American military history as well as advocating the relevance of America’s military and naval sciences.


3) Leveraging this lasting legacy of service to nation by supporting our nation’s veterans, guiding policy-makers and shaping our nation’s young leaders for generations to come.


4) Upholding our fidelity to the National Constitution and laws and to aid in maintaining national honor, union, and independence.


We welcome those who are interested in seeking membership in our Order. Our applicants are current or former commissioned or warrant officers of the Armed Forces of the United States (Active Duty, Reserve/National Guard, Coast Guard) or its allies. These men and women, or their lineal descendants, must have served in or during a foreign war of the United States. This includes, of course, Iraq and Afghanistan.


Companions in the New York Commandery meet regularly throughout the year. We also participate in historical and patriotic events. We welcome you to get engaged. Be a part of our fellowship! Learn more about our application process by sending us an e-mail today at mofwnyc@gmail.com.
