So I've been wondering what are everyone's thoughts are regarding the VFW?
When I returned home from Iraq in June 2005, my squad was held in a room back on base, and told we could not leave until we completed enrollment forms for both the Veterans Administration and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Since that time, I have never been contacted by anyone from the VFW, or their local chapter, I pay my association dues, and evey once in a while I receive their information magazine that contains members obituaries and various ad's for orthopedic and Velcro shoes.
I'm still trying to figure out why it was so important for me to join. Granted, I have never attended a local meeting, so my experience is limited; however, I've always been curious to see what other veterans experiences were joining the VFW?
