A Parting Thought for the American Legion
From my non-renewal of membership:
To Post ___,
I shall not be renewing my membership with the Post, or the American Legion. Please remove me from the mailing list.
Should you care for an explanation, I can give two small recollections that stand out in my mind; The first is from 2004, when my wife delivered my membership renewal in person to the Post (I was in Afghanistan at the time) When my wife explained that she was dropping it off, since I was deployed overseas, she got a total response of “Okay, thanks”. The second was when I emailed the Post in 2007 to mention that I would once again be gone for a year or more (this time deploying to Iraq) – I received a total response of “Okay, good luck”.
If this is the support a Legionnaire can expect while at war …

And they wonder why this generation do not join these organizations.
Quite so - I'll give the VFW a try. If they don't cut it, I guess I'll see what I can find.
