What in the Hell has happened to the American Legion? I have a lady friend that is a widow whose husband died 3 or 4 years ago. We were high school friends in 1963 and got back in touch this spring. In any event she just got a packet addressed to her dead husband from the American Legion. The really strange thing is her husband was a avowed draft dodger back then and never served a day in any of the services.

The Certificate reads:

Upon meeting the requirements set forth by... THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES... ROY ***** shall be accepted for membership in THE AMERICAN LEGION
Some how that aggravates me. This draft dodger would get as much attention and benefits as me and I had 6 years of continuous active duty. Apparently the American Legion cares more about the $25 membership fee than what they can do for veterans.
