Veterans that pass deserve to be honored. Someday I hope someone is there to do it for me, so we step up to (present military honors at funerals) so future generations will continue this tradition.

We can heal the wounds in our veteran community by banding together in solidarity. We have veterans dying from toxic exposure, suicide, improper medical, and other veterans lost without a place to go. The VFW is that place, and we need to band together and use legislative advocacy to change things. We need all of the veteran community, not just one era of veterans.
