VFW

Man, was I fooled by post 2111. As a veteran and vfw member, looking for a post, I was very excited to become affiliated and recruit dozens of fellow members to Jim’s place. I got married and paid to have my reception at the hall there, and when I discussed specifics I was completely relieved to have such a welcoming impression. However, I learned that the bartender, Tracy and Jim had not only gotten nasty with my family about harmless inquiries of replacing burnt out overhead lights, and then got even nastier telling them everything had to be broken down and DJ’s gear removed by ten sharp, unlike what we had discussed. They cited their half-​assed contract and said «you don’t understand contracts» to my mother, who happens to negotiate corporate legal contracts for a living. Turns out they were only trying to keep my $ 100 deposit, but I would have paid them gladly upfront if they had just said so when I asked weeks before. They didn’t have to give a terrible impression of a good organization to my entire family and veteran friends. What an embarassment. Not to mention there was no sign on their steps out front that every single one was a different height. At least 5 family members fell, including an elderly woman and a toddler. Water damage and a stinky hall we had to air out and disguise with our own lighting, absolutely the rudest club management, and they are asking for a lawsuit with those stairs. If you’re looking for a post, or a hall, please, take the time to look around for a nicer establishment.

What a great group of people to spend your weekend with? I love the VFW it’s like an underworld of cool people; retired, active military, and veterans all under the same roof and better believe it’s going to be fun filled times! Karaōke is a fav that happens here and there and the singers are awesome! It’s fun to let your hair down and let the music take you away with a drink or two! I had one of my 21^st Birthday shots here! The best part is knowing that you are safe. This particular group will not let you drink and drive! Nothing better than truly being cared for!

VFW post 2111 is a great place to meet up with other veterans and have a quality conversation about what’s on your mind. I went there a few nights ago and I was treated with absolute kindness and respect. I was made to feel that I had been coming there for years. Their hospitality is bar none. While I was there, I renewed my membership with the Post and I plan to help the VFW in July during «STAND DOWN» San Diego.
Stand Down San Diego is one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ efforts to provide many different services over an entire weekend at San Diego High School (July 15 – 17, 2011) to homeless veterans here in our area.
If you are a Veteran of a foreign war and live in the San Diego area, I recommend that you contact VFW Post 2111. We would love to have you as a part of our organization.
Thanks Ed H. for taking the time to introduce me to everybody.
