'S far as I know, my post #6441 in Wimberley, Texas, never refused the welcome mat to Vietnam war veterans. Quite the contrary, being the neighborly sort down here, we welcome any and all whose DD 214 has the correct entry. If a local Post wants to offer a year's worth of dues, I think it's a great idea to help attract and ultimately keep new and younger members. In a previous reign, our Post paid some members's dues in order to keep the Post in good standing for certain awards, but that practice of paying for ghosts has now gone by the wayside. I've noticed that members who pay, and are asked to help with various projects, are the most active members.
