Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States is
conferred on duly qualified, duly sponsored officers -
both commissioned and warrant. Active military service
in or during any of our foreign wars or military
expeditions will qualify an officer as a Veteran
Companion, as will honorable services as a commissioned
officer in the armed forces of our allies. Individuals
who served in an enlisted status during such wars or
expeditions, and who were subsequently commissioned or
warranted as an officer, will qualify as a Veteran
Companion. Descent from such an officer may also qualify
