While the staff at VFW magazine appreciates all the feedback we get, there is simply not enough room in Mail Call each month to publish all letters to the editor. Please note that VFW magazine only publishes letters to the editor that are 100 words or less and pertain to the previous month's editorial content. If you would like to submit a letter, email is preferred.
