Middletown VFW Post 3809 commander Glenn South says members voted against backing a promotional ad campaign funded by the Ohio Department of Veterans of Foreign Wars. An ad agency would solicit the ads, but no local benefit to veterans would result. The post prioritizes veterans in Middletown and will not double-endorse solicitation before the May poppy sale.
