I do not understand how you can be a member of Vietnam veterans organization ,and you didn’t serve in Vietnam , same with the sons of the American Legion , they get to dress up and look like other legionnaires without being in service . I also don’t understand why people call themselves Vietnam era veterans What’s wrong with just saying you were in the service can’t you just be proud of that without piggybacking on a Vietnam veterans service , I know for some it’s just because others have said it ,but for others I think they know they are blurring the lines and there are actually people who think people served in Vietnam when they see the phrase Vietnam era

As a Vietnan era vet 72 -74 I got lucky and went to Korea instead. Draft #18

Thanks for the heads-up on post 347. I am going to check it out. Do they also have activities for wives as well?

Saint Cloud Fl… also a Lifetime Charter Rider Member….If you are a Rider, check to see if your membership carries to the Post that you are transferring to! Also the Smoking / Non Smoking question should be addressed in your decision… Great Question OP

Is there a place for non-smokers and non-drinkers there?
