Junior Girls Units Symbol Started in 1935, they were originally called Daughters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Members were to call each other "sister", uniforms were French blue jumpers, white short sleeve blouses with peter pan collars, red ribbon tie and French blue cap. In the early days, being married did not disbar a girl from membership - as long as she was 18 years old or under. Now, Junior Girls Units are for girls 6 - 16 who are daughters, stepdaughters, foster daughters, granddaughters, sisters, half sisters, stepsisters or foster sisters of persons eligible for the VFW.
