| When our founder Fr. Edward J. Higgins of Astoria, NY decided to form the first Post of the CWV and to seek the blessing of Pope Pius XI, his first order for the organization was to actively support the good and welfare of our nation. Secondly, as a WWI veteran he wanted to ensure that the primary focus of our efforts was to put into action the famous words of President Abraham Lincoln, "To care for those who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan." Today, the CWV keeps faith with this mandate of our founder by providing the services of our national and local area V.A. Service Officers free of charge to those members and other veterans who request professional assistance in preparing and defending their claims for federal veterans benefits.
