This is kind of a new angle on an old idea but I would like to start-up get togethers reminiscent of the old days, when we went on a tour or a TDY. It would be a kind of mobile canteen where we could hang out, grill, listen to music and maybe watch a movie. Kind of like the togetherness of the M.A.S.H, units or canteens at Rhein Mein AB. in Germany.
I am not suggesting a format and I am cognizant of local laws, though frivolous, could impede us. Maybe find some lawns darts, drink a few beers and just hang-out. I have some really cool ideas on special guests but no officers! Just kidding!
I live out in the country with about 17 acres of land so we would have a lot to do. We can also discuss how we can help our local communities and partner with law enforce enforcement and pro-bono help but the main idea is too have fun, military style.
Regardless of our political ideas you all are brothers and sisters and love you dearly because of that. Let me know what you think? I live in Greensboro, about 40 miles away from Durham and Raleigh.
Respectfully,
Larry

Was Cdr of my Local VFW for a long time. Also attended the Navy League Monthly meetings. Just taking a break right now. Of course I always like swapping Sea Stories with my Fellow Veterans.

Really that is the gist of what I would like to do and encourage others to do as well. Kind of like field training overseas and the camaraderie of the simple life where a beer and a grill would satisfy everyone.

If anyone has a similar Idea in Kansas City Metro, If small enough, I would recommend the KC Bier Company. Great Beer Garten just like my Grandpa used to operate in St Louis.
