In 2017, the lead creators of the VFW Website Solution Program received a call from John Gubin & Don Nettler at the instruction of Harry "Less" Croyle; the commander of the Department of Michigan at the time.  John & Don explained the issues the VFW was facing as it applied to growing VFW Membership, struggles with communication to its current membership and other needs their current website was not providing.  The team outlined a series of features that would solve many of the struggles the VFW was facing.  Because the VFW is a non-profit organization, funds were limited and the development that was needed exceeded the budget of VFW Michigan. 

The owners of DrivePath (the hosting company that houses the VFW WSP), Rob & Dave, discussed the situation at length and came to the following conclusion:  Like MANY Americans, DrivePath understands and acknowledges the sacrifice; to some, the ultimate sacrifice; that was made for the way of life for ALL Americans.  "It takes a special character to put their life on the line for people they have never met" - David says.  "It is the least we can do, in our efforts to give back, to give of our time and talents. Out of this, the VFW Website Solution Program was born.  

Shortly after the launch of the new VFW MI Department website, the leaders of VFW NC found out about what Michigan was doing and had to have the program as well.  In short order other states started using the system and the word was out.

We were invited to by the Quartermaster General - Debrea Anderson and her team comprising of Randi Law and Lynn Rolf, to visit them in Kansas City and demo the system we have built.  Seeing the potential in the system, after a few modifications to adhere to the VFW branding standards, VFW National launched the VFW Website Solution Program to ALL Posts, Districts and Departments across the globe; with a grant to pay for the first year of hosting for Posts and Departments.

It has been an HONOR to work with such an amazing group of people.  We have learned much since the systems inception and will continue to work with VFW Leaders in further development of the VFW Website Solution Program in solidarity.
