Into The Storm – Hank’s In The Cowboy Hat
While on active duty in the Marine Corps I didn’t contemplate much about which Veterans’ organization I’d one day join. I already belonged to the Marine Corps Association (comes with your subscription to Leatherneck and the Marine Corps Gazette) and that was it. So after retiring in 2005 with 21 years I knew it would be a matter of short order before I’d feel the fraternal strings pulling at me to get involved with a local chapter of most likely the Marine Corps League, the American Legion, and/or the VFW. I had the most familiarity with these organizations and their stellar reputations.
