I am the first...
Hey, Its a done deal! I am the first (1st) female member to be voted into the 40&8 in the American Legion post I belong to.
I am also in the Legion and Auxiliary as well. I have had a part in the American Legion organization for 26 years now and counting.
Yes, females can now be invited into the 40&8 now. My cousin is a National BoxCar, and he told me first hand the day after it was passed, and when I announced it to the ChefDeGar first hand, I was immediately invited .
Yes, All of you old guys out there that who grumbled at the thought of women being at the meetings in their organization, grumble no more.

Women should not be permitted in the Armed Services, street Police, and many other endeavors where physical strength, logical thinking and non-emotionally based attributes are required - that applies to a lot of Men too - just not to the same (100%) extent.

Please forgive Doug Wilson, he was attacked by a female when he was young and it scarred him deeply. It must have been terrible!. I say we chip in and send him to see Dr. Phil, to talk about his trauma, maybe get in touch with his "female side".
Congrats SamieJ1959.[:)]0 -
If I have a "female side", it's my downside. 0 -

Well, at least you still do have a "side" even though it is a cantankerous one[}:)].0 -

Pretty close - I live in Orygone. 0 -
If Doug lives in a cave, he must live solo, or, maybe with a dog. 0 -
