This is a joke as veteran’s groups are hard pressed for membership. Many around here, such as the American Legion and the V.F.W., alternate their activities because neither has the membership to do much on their own.
True. It pains me to see it because my earliest memories involved playing with other kids at the VFW clubhouse while our parents were in meetings. But the younger vets are not interested in the same way and many posts have had to close or consolidate. My WWII vet dad was a life member of all of them and I’m only glad he is not still with us to see what they’ve done to the country he and his peers fought for.
