Dear Editor,
I would like to address the rumor that the Ellinwood VFW is closing.
Although the building may not be able to be saved, the veterans’ organization is still alive and well. It is unfortunate that the word “VFW” represents “a bar.”
The Ladies’ Auxiliary even has members who are not going to continue their membership because we will not have a bar.
This is so unfortunate that they do not believe in working for their veterans.
So, the next time you hear about the good work that the VFW and Auxiliary are doing, be assured that we are here to support our veterans and their families in any way possible.
Let us know if we can do anything for you or your veteran, or if you would like to know more about how you can join our team.
We would like to hear your opinions on what we are doing right or wrong.
Diane Hill,
secretary/treasurer,
VFW Post 5657,
