Veterans

Very recently I checked out the VFW Post nearest to me. I can admit to being a little fucked off lately, but was nearly shocked to find I may be the one who needs to chill out if I want to fit in. There are MAGA’s there, but politics and religion are banned at any hint of disruptive behavior.

It’s not my grandfather’s or dad’s era of VFW anymore. Good luck with your search, the local post (waiting on a copy of my DD-214) has music a couple nights a week, we chip in, there’s a guy who’s volunteered to cook for the last 15-20 years, all the bartenders are also volunteers who do it out of a sense patriotism.

The overriding theme seems to provide a place to chill, and relax. I may need to work on calmness but no matter what, if it’s a good post and you’re a veteran you have a place. If not, fuck’em, and find a post that cares about veterans, over politics.
