The VFW post in Denver, oldest in the country was recently taken over by the younger, more energetic vets who have made great improvements. 

Problem with small twon posts like ours is there are just so few young vets these days due to the smaller size of the military and less than 1% of the population being involved.

That sent me looking for numbers.  Total military numbers were around 3.5 million in 1968; that has dropped steadily, and now hovers around 1.4 million.

Amazing how much we accomplish with so few; scary that we have so reduced our forces.
