Veterans of Foreign Wars organizations across the country have seen a decline in membership as veterans from WWII,  Vietnam and Korea grow older.

The West Frankfort VFW has broken the mold when it comes to finding new members and community support.

Iraq veteran Kyle Webb, doesn’t look like your average VFW member.

“My grandfather is 93 years old, a WWII veteran and I’ve been coming here since I was a baby,” said Webb.

Webb now serves as post 5467’s commander, and want’s to see the organization he and his grandfather love so much, stick around for a long time.
