Today's quote was written by the incomparable Dolly Parton, lyrics from her song I Will Always Love You:

I hope life treats you kind
and I hope that you have all
that you ever dreamed of
and I wish you joy
and happiness
but above all of this,
I wish you love.

Parton, who passed away yesterday at the age of 80, was not only a singer, songwriter and movie star, she was the founder of Imagination Library; thanks to her, Imagination Library and their partner organizations, more than 304 million books have been given to children up to age five since 1995. Some of these titles are, or have previously been, included on our recommended reads list as part of Patriotism Through Literacy, our Youth Activities initiative.

"So I'll go, but I know, I'll think of you each step of the way and I will always love you..."

"Ten active members standing in a line,
One disliked another, and then there were nine.
Nine ambitious members offered to work late,
One felt unheard, and then there were eight…"

This poem, slightly modified from one called What’s the Value of One Member (author unknown) is based on an old, outdated nursery rhyme perhaps best remembered as the inspiration of the Agatha Christie play “And Then There Were None.” It counts down from ten Auxiliary members as one-by-one, each becomes burnt out, discouraged or mired in disagreements with the others, until there are only two left – but “One joined a bridge club and then there was one.”

Most of the time, interpersonal issues that cause members to volunteer less, transfer Auxiliaries or quit the organization altogether are entirely fixable, if addressed early and appropriately without unnecessary escalation. This is just one situation in which it's best to follow your Chain of Command!

Veterans’ benefits are not “use it or lose it” money.

VA’s 2022 proposal was never finalized. The VFW fought it then, and we oppose turning those proposed cuts into law now.

Take action and tell Congress to oppose any version of TCAVA that cuts veterans’ earned benefits: https://www.votervoice.net/VFW/Campaigns/138781/Respond
