I am a member of Post 4057 in Tupelo, Ms..( Vietnam 70-71 with boots on the ground and not on a Carrier)..I get the VFW magazine. My Dad was post commandar and my Mom was the president of the Ladies Auxillary. I read the VFW magazine each month and have yet to see this grade I was supposed to give a candidate or the poll to participate in.. As beachwalker said we are encouraged to vote. BOTH candidates were invited to speak at the National Convention.....The VFW has never endorsed a candidate and Walter Reed did not start falling apart under Bush....It took 30 years to get it into that bad a shape...
