I complained to VFW National about how this Veteran was treated and received the following reply today, July 27, 2015

VFW response re protestor

Dear Mr. Waters:

All VFW National Conventions are closed, members-only events. Well known to all delegates is that this is our house, which makes the President our guest. This VFW comrade broke protocol and embarrassed the entire organization by introducing politics into an apolitical event. As the video clearly depicts, other VFW members were trying to separate him from his sign, which he was unwilling to let go. The video also clearly shows that his fall was broken by those same comrades, who then gently righted him. He then proceeded to heckle the President, and was eventually removed by local law enforcement. This comrade was disrespectful to an invited guest and he was dealt with appropriately. It is not an issue.

Thank you for your service and for caring enough to write.

Regards,
Joe Davis
Director of Public Affairs

I am seriously reconsidering my membership in the VFW
