Any veteran can join the VFW or American Legion. They aren't limited to WWII vets, and I find it shocking that you seem to not realize that. If there are a lot of young veterans in your town, get them all to join and change up the complexion of the group. Someone has to run it when the old guys die!!
I hear this same bullshit about Masons/Shrine - "oh, I don't want to join, it's all old guys." Well mensa, if you and your young friends join and make an effort to get involved, IT WON'T BE. I'm sorry that there's no one begging you on bended knee to join and having an x-box/masturbate to internet porn night, but if that's what it takes to get you involved, the org is probably better off without you.
Sorry but this kind of self involved whininess chaps my hide. I'm pretty sure that when my dad joined the Legion, there were WWI vets still alive and active in the group, and he didn't whine about how he "couldn't relate" to them.
