i guess my experience was different, i got out 38 years ago today.few days after we got out, one of the guys i enlisted with decided to check out the local VFW in Elkhart IN, our home town.well we went in for a beer and a fellow sitting at the bar asked if we had been to Vietnam, we answered yes. well he proceded to tell us basicly we where lucky not too have been in a "real war" where planes bombed us. well we finished our beer and left , myself i never looked back. after that never checked into any services orgs.not flaming anyone or any org, but that a-hole just turned me off.

I got about the same treatment from the VFW after Viet Nam. Now that I've seen the decision by the head honcho of the VFW to excuse Janet Napoletono's slur on returning vets from the present wars, I feel lucky I didn't join.

I'm a member of MOAA and MOPH,

Life member VFW and NRA

[Greg H. in Virginia]

14 year American Legion member here.

[John Sukey (Deceased)]

Joined neither one, I was not shot at, so the VFW is out. And I don't drink, so either one would not be in the running. Three yrs Army and retired after 25 in the Air Guard. Closest I came was being in Panama the two weeks before the baloon went up. Hardly worth mentioning.

[Mike in Kentucky]

American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Garand Collecters Assn., National Rifle Assn., Northeastern Kentucky Fish & Game, FreeMasons, Shriners, Military Book Club, and a few more my old senile mind can't remember until the renewal notices get here...

American Legion - 10 years this July. Joined after I saw the Honor Guard do military rites at a neighbor's funeral. I would like to be involved in that after I retire from my present occupation, if the Lord wills...

I got out 37 years ago. Went to the local VFW post and was also told that Viet Nam wasn't a "war". Haven't had any use for those guys since. I've recently thought about visiting the local AL . . . might still happen.

[Hagar]

Belong to the American legion, VFW,VVA, DAV. I've never attended a meeting of any of these organizations. I joined in order to support financially my fellow vets.
