Getting The Dump

Just this weekend I found out, from the horses mouth, that our VFW District Commander is actually ineligible for the VFW.
When a VFW member moves up into office, their membership eligibility is reviewed per the By-Laws and it just so happens, on a fluke, that his service does not validate the foreign War eligibility.
This now means that, if true, as the next line officer, I would take the Command.
This is not how I would choose it and I feel terrible about the issue. This guy has done so much for the VFW and has assisted his Post into National commendations! This is a great loss to the entire organization, not just the Post!
I will never be able to fill this guys shoes!
