As a fellow member [of NAVetsUSA] I'd like to urge ALL your members to look over the wording of the Congressional Charter granted to the VFW by Congress on May 28, 1936 which states that for membership a person MUST have served of Foreign Soil or in Hostile Waters.  We who served in the U.S. Merchant marine during WW 2 most certainly served on Hostile Waters. YET the VFW continues to Blatantly Discriminate against us by refusing to allow us to join it. Their charter (word for word) can be found on one of my web sites I operate for everyone to see at; http://usmmv.com/

Please fellow veterans help me to take them to task for this violation, they must NOT be permitted to do this wrongful act against us. Tell them to either correct it or give up operating under that Congressional Charter.

THANK YOU ALL.

Their action is both Disgraceful & Despicable.. When we each & everyone salute our great flag, which concludes with;  LIBERTY and JUSTICE FOR ALL, WE MOST CERTAINLY COME UNDER THE "ALL" PART.
