Never impressed with vfw.

They are obviously not about proper English either.

I have two Old Glories not fit to fly to deliver to our local VFW to despose of properly. I think I’ll wait.
I’m a life member of the VFW and I rarely set foot in one. They are no longer anything like what they were supposed to be. They only do the bare minimum for Vets nowadays. Sad.
Most are just private neighborhood bars with some bozo dictating who can and can’t come in unless they are simply passing through.
Those who started these must be rolling over, no, spinning in their graves about now.
In my humble opinion; their usefulness has run its course. It would not be a loss if they all shut down at this point.
They no longer have any clout with the VA anyway. Let this dying dog die a quick and painless death.

I've had "the" conversations with Vietnam Vets at the local VFW, as a guest, and don't want any more. I am a life member of the American Legion... and for some peculiar reason I am (more) amongst my own kind there. Not sure if that is a schism nationwide or not. Not disrespecting my brothers and sisters in uniform on their service in uniform downrange, one iota.
Spent 40 months downrange myself in the ME, but not in service to Uncle Sam. Plenty of 107mm rockets stopped by to say hello.
GET SOME!
