David A Kacal commented on Norbert Paul Mueggenborg's blog post Mens Auxiliary Post 8567"For most new MA members it's not a big deal. For most of us that helped get the MA going, we are not happy about it. I know we are going to be disbanded, just a matter of when. Some issues I've had:
no one asked us our thoughts on any of…"
David A Kacal commented on Thomas Zerbest 's blog post Men's Auxiliary, soon to be a thing of the past??"We here in Alaska are staying till the end. Many have said they will not join the Aux. Main reason to me is we lose our longevity and start over like the previous 12 years didn't count."
David A Kacal commented on Norbert Paul Mueggenborg's blog post Is this and end to Men's Auxiliary"Sorry, first time using my phone for this. There are 2 resolutions being worked on now to be brought up at Nat'l convention. Their purpose is to disband the MA. Found we (the men) must provide proof of eligibility again, and that our time…"

Chris Walock replied to David A Kacal's discussion Comander in Chief resolution 302 for this 2014 Convention in the group VFW Mens Auxiliary"The combination of the Men's and Ladies Auxiliary would simply signal the death notice of the Men's Auxiliary.

Comander in Chief resolutioon 302 for this 2014 Convention
Wass wondering how many have seen this and what thier thoughts are. Basically its the VFW supporting the Ladies in whatever they want to change thier eligibility requirements to include men and to make ONE AUXILIARY.While I applaud the Ladies Aux in thier endeavors I do not think combining will help either organizationWE passed a resolution to try and get a Life membership. It passed the Post and was to be taken to DEPT. Asked other MAs to push for it and some submitted thier own resolutiion.…See More
David A Kacal replied to Ed Rockwood's discussion Fundraising in the group VFW Mens Auxiliary"Basically it depends on your members interests. The golf tournament works well for some, I don't golf so I won't put one on. WE do a Bowl a Thon for the VFW Nat'l Home for Children and you can do it for any purpose. Holding Raffles…"
