The producers of the long-aired TV series "Cheers" sure got it right in the theme song, when it says, "Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name - and they're always glad you came!" For those among us who truly are veterans of our nation's wars, then part of this song gives a glimpse of what the value a VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post gives us as we share a common bond and brotherhood. And of course, we call this a home away from home. If you go to a VFW Post, and Post 3270 is no different, you see the stories on the walls, you feel the history of those who've gone before, and when the room is filled, more memorable stories grow the mountain of the legendary tales shared between each other from the foundation the VFW laid many years ago. Well, the VFW is our house, and like my own home, I don't take photos inside someone else's or mine to share. I know inside the VFW you get respect and everyone treats each other with respect. The ambiance at Post 3270 is darkened inside. It has an exterior bar area that is screened to keep the bugs out, but smoking is permitted there. The interior has a lot of military memorabilia, patches, pictures,etc. The most solemn memorial is the POW table setting. We are reminded on every one of our visits to never forget them. There is a full service bar, along with reasonably-priced lunches (and dinners on Thursday and pizza on Friday) made in house. I had mine on the Tuesday of the $5 burger day. For an extra $1 it will come with fries. Basic toppings are cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions - and it was VERY good! There are a good number of larger monitors showing various programming during the day - it can be news, sports, game shows, all depending on what's happening out there in video land. The bartender and chef took great care of me today! I came at a time when there weren't many fellow Vets around, but I'll see the crowd on another day. If you're a Veteran of one or more of our nations conflicts, connect with a VFW Post soon! The VFW as an organization is always on guard to ensure the wellbeing of our retired wartime veterans. Don't miss out on those benefits and/or connections!
