I've lived literally 5 minutes away from this post for over four years...and I just visited for the…read morefirst time. I really wish I had come here MUCH earlier! If you aren't familiar with the VFW, it's a fraternal organization for veterans who have served in a combat theater. It was originally founded for vets to be able to get away from the general public and connect with other vets. They have since begun welcoming the general public when accompanied by a VFW member. I am a proud lifetime member, but my home post was in Germany. So, I came here to check it out and see about transferring my membership. I think everyone has a general idea of what they THINK the VFW would be like...and chances are, they would be completely correct! There is a canteen inside that has a full bar, pool table, dart, shuffle board, and various other activities. The hall also has meeting rooms, offices, kitchen...etc. The decor is far from modern. The grounds of post 8787 has a small race track, some green space, and a large deck. The jukebox is playing anything from oldies to blues and country. At this post...I am the youngster! The people here are friendly and engaging. The Ladies Auxiliary is the first to greet me and we have some great conversations. A few beers in I finally realize something...I realize that THIS is what I've been looking for. I've finally found my community. This place feels like home and I look forward to spending a lot of time here. Be nice to me...maybe I'll let you tag along sometime...:)
