There is huge support for the VFW where I'm from, and they deserve every bit of it. Not only for the obvious reasons, but they are very active in the community too. The little league wouldn't have fields here if it weren't for the VFW, and there are a dozen charity fund raisers they do each year. I suppose the VFW is going to be different everywhere you go, so I can't speak from personal experience for all of them, but the VFW I know is more than a bunch of drunks in a bar. I'll also add, ANY veteran from ANY foreign war is welcome in the VFW here. In fact, the fellow that runs most of it these days is a Vietnam Vet.
