In the spirit of true Comradeship, we shall always be grateful."

Women like yourself have earned and continue to earn the right of full and uncompromised recognition and membership in the VFW. You have found the time to do more for those who have served our great nation and I dare say, you have done more than most, who by birthright, are obligated to do more but have done far less."
