The VVA is the Vietnam Veterans of America ... but allowed membership to any veteran regardless if they were in VN or not. They still do.
I quit because, as far as I was concerned, the VVA was misrepresenting who they truly were - just an organization for any veteran - not just VN vets.
If the VFW did this, they'd be just like the American Legion where any vet can join.

Ahhhh. . makes sense to me now.

Thanks.

Not all Vets can join the American Legion. You have to have served during specific timeframes. Those personnel that served in the armed forces between May 1975 - Aug 1982, Aug 1984 - Dec 89 and Feb 1990 - Aug 2 1990 are not eligible to join the American Legion if their service did not start before or extend after the dates listed.
