Once upon a time there was a veteran who never joined any organizations. All
his life, he took benefits and entitlements won for him by veterans' organizations.
He had a l0-point preference, a G.I. Home Loan, he had gone to school on the
G.I. Bill. Veteran' Unemployment even got him a job, among other thing but still
he refused to join.
On his death bed he told his wife, "Please do something for me. I want
to be buried in the National Cemetery, have a Military marker, and I want a
veteran's organization to provide an Honor Guard and bury me and be my pallbearers."
"But you've never belonged to any veterans' organizations," his wife
explained. "Why do you want them to be pallbearers?"
"Dear," he replied, "They carried me this far, they might as
well carry me the rest of the way.
