Oh BS. My father was a Vietnam era vet (served in the Atlantic fleet) and he was welcomed by the VFW with open arms.
Is that right? Well, how does floating around the Atlantic qualify one for the Veterans Of Foreign Wars?
And since I am 'Nam vet, I can tell you first hand my experience with the VFW way back when was negative.

I am not eligible for membership in the VFW because of the time frame that I served in. Thats OK with me.
I never saw War in person, but I try to support our veterans all, even though many such as myself never actually saw conflict.
