Over in Superior last year or the year before, they lost their post. They just didn't have enough members. They couldn't keep their own building.

Veterans take care of veterans.
Memorial Day has turned into a three-day weekend, a trip to the lake. There's only a few days a year that some of the people think of veterans. The VFW magazine polled its members recently on whether the organization should relax some of its restrictions to ensure its survival. Eighty-six percent of those polled supported relaxing membership restrictions to include veterans who served during the Cold War. That issue may come up at the next VFW convention in August.
