“At a street fair in 1997, I was challenged by a VFW Recruiter as to why I had never joined the VFW. I told him no one ever asked. We talked about the local programs the organization sponsored. The activities sounded interesting so I thought that I would try it out for a year. 25 years later as a Life Member, I’ve served in most of the local Post Officer positions, including 9 years as Post Commander. When I relocated my family to another region of the State, I made it a priority to seek out the local Post. Every year has been a rewarding experience in our communities. I’m proud of the way the VFW works to help Veterans in our country!”
