VFW national did not sanction and was not, in fact, aware that the press conference was going to be held at a VFW Post.

What local bozo OK'd this? Nothing like adding fuel to the fire.

Sounds like a post commander is about to get demoted.

So which FORIEGN WAR was he a veteran of???

Excerpt:

The following statement is by Richard DiFederico, Department Commander Connecticut VFW:

“Those who served in Vietnam or offshore or in neighboring countries rightfully earned all the belated thanks and appreciation our nation can muster. Those who served in uniform during the Vietnam era also deserve our gratitude, which makes Mr. Blumenthal's claim to be something he is not so outrageous. It diminishes the service of all who served and sacrificed, most especially those whose names are inscribed on the Vietnam Wall. Mr. Blumenthal was considered one of the best friends a veteran could have in Connecticut. It is a true shame that he let a false claim of Vietnam service change that.”

VFW National Commander Thomas J. Tradewell Sr., endorses this statement. In sum, the fact that this event was held at a VFW location cannot, in any manner, be construed as a formal endorsement of the candidate.

The vfw didn’t want viet vets at all when I tried to join.

Now they offer praise?
