Are you a member of the VFW,American Legion or DAV?
If you are not a member of one of these (and are eligible) why not? are there any good reasons for not joining?
PS. if you think these are just for post-military you are very wrong.

I'm a member of the DAV. I like what they do for veterans, with their singular focus on disabled vets. Whenever I see a disabled vet - in person or "on paper" - I think, there, but for the grace of God, go I.

I think they all carry their own weight. Just like anything else you look into, they all have their own strengths. I tried to join the VFW but because I didn't deploy overseas I didn't qualify. I am going to check into the American Legion soon though.

SPC David Shaffer You are correct, VFW has a different focus for membership. However, VFW Service Officers will assist any veteran that needs assistance in regards to VA programs and benefits - membership eligibility is not even a question that is asked. In fact, in the past several months I have been assisting more non-VFW eligible veterans ... kinda odd, but it happens. Additionally, AD families in distress should contact their local VFW Post at any time.
Most of the Veteran Service Organizations (VSO) will have their Service Officers assist any veteran without concern as to your eligibility for their organization.
