Hope the American Legion in his area is more freindly then this VFW is up by me. The boose is cheap but if you didn't grow up in the area, your really not welcomed, even if your a Nam vet. As time goes by, I forsee it (this post) dying off.
Gee - I like your taste in names! LOL! Welcome to Free Republic!
I really do think it's liek anywhere else: depends a lot on the character of the characters. The VFW/AL posts near Ft. McCoy took me in, a total stranger.
Both served food and beer, both welcomed brethren under arms, both served the communities. The Legion is far better organized, I'll agree - and more vocal.
But, the vets of older wars are leaving us at a shocking rate. It's up to us, their successors, to keep on.
