A friend asked me to join them for Family Feud after Bingo. While I waited I went to bar in the Bingo room and was rudely told that I had to go to the front bar. Off I went cash in hand and stood at the bar. The female bartender yelled at myself and another man that she was making a drink and the male bartender then helped 7 men that came in after me. After the female bartender finished making two drinks (that took about 10 minutes) then looked at me then helped two women of her own race that also came in after me. All this time there was another woman, not of my race that was audibly grumbling about people of my race being at the bar. At that point I gave up and left. May I add that this is exactly the same nonsense that chased my husband and I away a decade ago. We go to other legions in the area (Springfield and Lorton) where everyone is welcoming of all races and gender. It is a shame that at a non profit entity blocks from the US Capitol and what would be the closest bar to my home, you can't a bottle of beer based on your race or gender!

Just got off the phone. I asked why no veterans went to the university and ripped down the Palestine flag and replace it with an American flag. The lady who answered the phone said they couldn't do that. She also stated she was veteran which o doubt. I took the oath in 1977 to protect our constitution from foreign and domestic. She sounded like a typical liberal. All kinds of excuses why the couldn't do that. Spineless cowards calling herself a Veteran.
