It is a place to meet other Veterans somewhere other than a bar or club - I don't mean to imply that the VFW and American Legion are just bars or clubs - they do much more than just provide a place for Vets to get together and toss back some cold ones, and I'm …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …
