VFW Luneta Post 52

Located on the N/W corner of Center and Fremont street, inside the Civic Auditorium building. This Post is tiny in comparison to the other Post I've visited. But size is unimportant when it comes to matters of the heart. The bar is filled with Veterans playing the dice game liars while they sip on their favorite librations. The interior is dimly lit. The only light source is by way of the sunlight shining through the huge windows which overlook downtown Stockton. The kitchen is small. The hall is not separated by any walls or panels from the bar area and, you have to leave through the secure front door to visit the public restrooms outside in the hallway. But again. All the faults and dislikes of this Post don't mean a thing when you understand why it's here and what it's all about. Speaking for myself. The VFW's have been a church like sanctuary for me. A place where I can talk, socialize and interact with other Veterans because they're the only ones who get it. The ones who understand what it feels like to live and walk on a giant cuisinart each and every waking day.
