I don't believe any outside organization, including any government organization should have a say in what the VFW does within its charter. Only the individual members and the national organization should have control over the VFWs around the globe. I don't gamble, so I'd be ok if there were no gaming machines on the premises.  However, if the members vote to allow gaming, no outside government organization should be able to determine to whom the proceeds are donated.  If you are not a member, stay out of the VFW.
