I joined years ago. I'm a life member, but really just a name on the list. I'm not a big drinker anymore, and have no interest in bingo. So I don't spend much time there. But it's a nice place to stop in for lunch, or a beer, now and then.
There are some good programs to help each other out. For example, my post has a program where people volunteer to drive patients to the VA hospitals in Prescott and Phoenix using vans provided by, I think the VA."Did I say "republic?" By God, yes, I said "republic!" Long live the glorious republic of the United States of America. Damn democracy. It is a fraudulent term used, often by ignorant persons but no less often by intellectual fakers, to describe an infamous mixture of socialism, miscegenation, graft, confiscation of property and denial of personal rights to individuals whose virtuous principles make them offensive." - Westbrook Pegler -
Im a member, but I dont actively participate in anything. Mainly because I am in Iraq, and then when I am home I am usually out spending time with the kiddos and wife.
Nice thing is that when traveling you always have somewhere to stop in and grab a bite to eat / drink of choice pretty much anywhere. I am only 25 so when ever I stop into one I like to ask the older gents for 'life' advice.Comment

I've been a member for quite some time. I held my retirement ceremony at the VFW in Imperial Beach. I like hanging around with all the old vets and listening to their stories. There's one down the street from where I live now. When I get a chance, I'll go down there and cook breakfast for everyone.sigpic

Thank your neighbor and fellow gun owners for passing Prop 63. For that gun control is a winning legislative agenda.

I highly recommed it.
You aren't obligated to participate, and both the VFW and the AL do lobby on your behalf at all times.
At the very least, if you're a member there will always be a place you can go to be with others that have a basic understanding of your experiences. You might even make friends.Comment

I'm not a vet, but my dad was in Vietnam.
I pretty much grew up in the VFW in Capitola. It was hard for my dad in some ways, but overall was very beneficial.Comment

Life member. Need a place to vent, with people that know exactly what you've been through? VFW.
Think you had it ****ty in your war? You will soon meet someone that made your tour look like a cakewalk.
Greatest bunch of real Veterans you could hope to be associated with.
Not to mention, they are a very powerful lobby for Vets rights in Washington."A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......CiceroComment

I am part of the VFW. Last time I was in one was my cousins wedding. They rented out the floor for the wedding, but the bar in the back was open. Needless to say, I don't remember much of the wedding. Just remember the bar and Long Islands were $2.50.I Survived Roe Vs. Wade!!!Comment
