Welcome to the Blogging from A to Z Challenge for 2026!
My theme this year is simply things that I’m grateful for.
It’s a broad and varied theme but was surprisingly easy to fill in each letter!
The VFW
I joined my local post back in February 2018 and still am only a handful of women who attend twice-monthly meetings and events with any regularity. I'm not 100% sure if I can say exactly WHY I joined.
I checked into all the other veteran's organizations and at the time, the VFW seemed to be the only one who treated female veterans as equals. Other groups placed the female vet in the auxiliary with the wives & family members! This was a huge red flag in my book. Hopefully they've caught up with the times.
I carried the post flag in the 2019 Labor Day parade
I think they were short on honor guard members that year, because ever since, I've ridden in the wagon.
I am also the newsletter editor, social media peep, website admin and the chairman for the VFWs Voice of Democracy / Patriots Pen programs and also for our post's annual scholarship.
I am kept busy!
