The Vander Clute VFW Riders, sponsored by Caseyville VFW Post 1117, recently held a NASCAR themed fund raiser for our District's "Homeless Veterans Program". Despite cold and rainy weather, the riders were able to raise over $800.00 for the program. The riders would like to thank all who contributed to this righteous cause. Respects

Interesting. I was wonderin' how tha' CA issue was gonna' wash out... Since they were "grandfathered", what about tha' groups runnin' different logos? I hear ya' on tha' confused and shuttin' up comments. =) I'm not gettin' twisted up about anything, either. Seems to be a big ol' mess, though... Respects

Well, and hope I don't mis-speak myself here, the way the riders in CA are running with their "MC" tab was allowed to be voted in under a grandfather clause as I understand it. They stated they have been riding this way for 10 years and before any other rider group in the VFW formed up. Also, since they were "grandfathered" in, no other state will be allowed to run as an MC, only the CA folks and all others must adhere to Resolution 308 which states a "one piece" patch. Appears to me to be a double standard, but I'm only one voice and was "voiced" down even by my own crew on this. I'm really confused on this whole issue, but people will do what they want so I'm just shuttin up on this one.

AZ VFW Riders did around 2400 miles or so with no mishap on this run. Had 9 bikes out of Arizona go on this trip. Had a great ride with the Texas VFW Riders from Unit 8 out of San Antonio on Sunday, 28 August. Many thanks to Bob Utley and "Zaney" for taking us on a great ride through the Texas hill country. All AZ riders got back home safe as of last Friday, 2 September.

Comrades,

I hope everyone attending the National Convention has a safe trip. I am heading out from VA tomorrow morning and hope to be there some time Thursday.

Keep the shiny side up.

So, I log on to see what's new only to stumble onto a discussion in Webcom about NO COLORS policies in VFW Canteens.... Y'all remember tha' VFW Post in Texas who threw out members of tha' Combat Vets Association and Patriot Guard because of their "colors"? (even though neither is a MC). Thought y'all might wanna' swing by tha' message board and kick in your thoughts about tha' topic since we're VFW members who RIDE. Respects 'n take care out there.

Thanks, Don & David. Y'all take care out there and those of you headin' to Texas, be safe and have fun! Popeye, be sure to do an extra circuit of that obstacle course for me. (Makes my back hurt and heart beat faster jus' thinkin' about it)  =) Respects
