Keith, fun is what you make it. There is no reason that a social member can't help out with projects, parades, etc. At our Post, many social members participate to a great extent. What many people fail to realize is that the VFW was formed as a place for Veterans who served in a war zone, to share experiences. The American Legion was formed as a place for all veterans to congregate.
