We got got a new kid at the VFW, 28 years old.
Afghanistan/Iraq

His wife is very nice, and understanding, He says, I just cant relate to Millennials, I need a place to hang.

He wont talk about any of it but, yeah I get it brother.
The wife aint bitching this is and old man place, she says she likes it, but I was struck by this kids words.

He just cant relate to folks that weren’t there, and he needs a place to decompress

God bless all that serve and those that stand by them in the wake

Walked into the VFW in 1971 thinking there were like minded veterans there. I was wrong, never went back, downright hostile group back then. Glad the VN vets are a little more reasonable for the newest batch of vets.

Usually they are spouting off and cutting up or they are silent

Howdy, my.

Cool that the young vet has found comfort in hanging out at the VFW.
