1. Election Day:
The election is fast approaching (Nov. 4), so now is a
great time to volunteer to work at your local polling place or to
volunteer to provide transportation to others who may need help getting
to the polls. The VFW encourages everyone to be educated on the issues
and to exercise their constitutional right to vote. The October 2008
issue of VFW Magazine covered both presidential candidates and their
positions on issues important to veterans. That link is at
