National Commander VFW Urges Benefits for Young Veterans
National Commander Patrick A. Carr told a Middletown audience that the Veterans of Foreign Wars must do more to attract Vietnam era veterans with increased education benefits and employment opportunities. He cited 450000 Vietnam veterans in the VFW and warned the group could lose leadership if younger members do not take roles. Carr urged priority for veterans in hiring and questioned hospital administration practices while noting potential budget pressures but not imminent cuts. He planned a visit to Chillicothe veterans hospital and warned against a future where the VFW ceases to exist if major conflicts end.
