This is a recurring column that highlights new VFW Post 3063 members. Comrade Leo Potts joined the post in April 2018.
What motivated you to join the VFW? I enjoy the camaraderie with other soldiers.
What is your military background? Originally enlisted as E–1 and was an infantry soldier, Was talked into joining ROTC and became an officer in 1987. Combat Engineer, got out in 1991, got back in 2000. Deployed to Iraq & Afghanistan, retired in 2015 as a major. There’s more but I don’t want to bore you.
Civilian job, education, family, hobbies, or anything else you’d like to tell us about yourself? I’m fully retired and what I do for fun is travel, vacation, help other soldiers get their benefits, and help other people travel and vacation more.
What do you hope to achieve being a member of the VFW? I want to be part of a family, military family, and whatever I can do to help the unit I plan on doing that.
