Does anyone know the benefits of VFW Legacy Life Membership?

I am a life member of the VFW, as I am sure many in this forum are. I have seen the VFW Legacy Life Program and just wanted to see if any RP members had insight as to the benefit.

Thank you.

I am a life member, but was to avoid having to keep track of if I paid the yearly dues and then again would be cheaper if I live long too.
