A number of us will not attend anything more than our Post meetings during our entire tenure with VFW which in some cases can go on for 7 decades. So when Traci Williams spoke at our Post I noted that she had Silver piping on her cover. I was sitting next to Don Wischmann, Department 1 Commander, who had Red piping on his cover. The rest of us had Gold piping on our covers. Traci was a National Chairperson and National Officers and Chairs are entitled to Silver piping on their covers. Department officers and chairs are entitled to wear Red piping while everyone else (meaning the workers of VFW) wear Gold on their covers.
