We all need to stick together. Began as a member of the Redmond, Oregon post, don&#39;t remember the number. Thinking of transferring to the Klamath Falls post.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been a member in the past, but it always seemed that when the time came, I never got a membership renewal. I would always let it lapse. How much is lifetime membership for someone that is early 40s? I&#39;ll renew it sooner or later. Same thing with American Leigon and DAV. It just seems that it is something that most active duty do not pursue but wait till they get out to join.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Lifetime member of the VFW since 2006. My father, talked took me to a VFW in Florida before I joined, and I found out I could when I returned for Saudi Arabia in 97. I did not join until 2003. Then I went to Korea which was icing on the cake for the VFW. I joined the post in Hampton VA, and now I am with the post in Manchester, CT. Joining the VFW allows you to connect with personnel from all eras and you can learn things as well as get the help you need since the VFW has the connections.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a life member of the VFW. I can&#39;t say I hand out poppies - my current position often prevents my being able to commit the time. However, I advocate for veterans daily. I have been known to drive indigent vets to local doctors (up to 50 miles one way) and I help vets in any way possible. Of course, as a VFW member if I am aware of an active duty member in distress I do my part and present the situation at the appropriate time. Ditto for fellow vets. Brotherhood is a life long task.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I concur, join your local VFW as a Life Member and be evolved. If you&#39;re disabled in anyway as a result of your Military service also join your local DAV Chapter. In the long run it will connect you with others who understand and can help if you need help. Also Lifetime membership is far cheaper than paying annual dues which expire. Some Post and Chapters will help offset a portion of your Lifetime dues also - not all, but many. Also if you are a qualifying Veteran and need help the other members and Service Officers are there to help.
