I remember that and I remember the intemperate and snotty comments made by some of their national leaders regarding Viet Nam vets. I also remember after I served before the Viet Nam era (2.5 years US Naval Reserve, 3 years US Army, RA, 2 honorable discharges) being told when I attempted to join both the VFW and the American Legion, that my service didn't count because it took place at the "wrong time"

Have you heard of a DD 214....either you are elgibile or not....don't try to BS the folks my friend...

No BS, my friend. My DD 214s clearly reveal my dates of service, as do my honorable discharge certificates.

The AL and the VFW clearly spell out which periods count and which periods don't count.

Look into it if you don't know that they don't accept all veterans who served their country.
