Mr. Helpful...I think you missed my point, but that is ok! Everyone is entitled to make a mistake in their life. The problem arises when a person is so closed-minded that they fail to understand the message. To be clear, any American Legion member in good-standings who visits a different Post is entitled to be treated with respect, including the opportunity to participate in activities and privileges afforded other members of the Post. This means, as a guest, they are veterans granted the same privileges and benefits that all American Legion members receive as a member in good standings. There is no need to play semantic games, but time to respect those who are members of the American Legion...In other words, be thankful to a veteran you can still express your opinion!
