over all no, but it is different from place to place. It also depends on local laws.
Yes, an American Legion member can generally visit a VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) post, but specific access policies may vary by location. Many VFW posts welcome members of other veterans' organizations, allowing them to participate in events or social activities. However, it's advisable to check with the local VFW post for their specific rules regarding membership and visitation.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, VFW Post 651 in the United States had indeed closed its doors. The closure was part of a broader trend affecting many Veterans of Foreign Wars posts due to declining membership and financial challenges. For the most current information, it would be advisable to check local news sources or the VFW’s official website.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is not automatically exempt from ASCAP or BMI licensing fees. While nonprofit organizations may have certain exemptions in specific situations, generally, any venue or organization that publicly performs copyrighted music, including VFW posts, is required to obtain licenses from performance rights organizations like ASCAP and BMI. It’s advisable for VFW posts to consult with legal counsel or the organizations directly to understand their specific obligations.
The answers provided are not correct. VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) posts are numbered sequentially based on when they received their charter from the national organization. The numbering system works like this: Post numbers are assigned chronologically as new posts are chartered, starting from Post 1, which was the first VFW post established. When a group of veterans applies to form a new VFW post and receives approval from the national headquarters, they're assigned the next available number in sequence. The numbers can range from single digits (for very early posts established in the early 1900s) up to four or five digits for more recently chartered posts. For example, VFW Post 1 was chartered in 1914 in Denver, Colorado, while newer posts today might have numbers in the 10,000s or higher. If a post closes or has its charter revoked, that number typically isn't reused, the numbering continues sequentially with new charters. However, in some cases, a post number might be reassigned if a new post is established in the same community where a previous post existed. The post number becomes part of the official name and identity of each VFW post, so you'll see them referred to as "VFW Post 1234" or similar. This numbering system helps distinguish between the thousands of VFW posts across the United States and its territories.
