A qualified answer to your question is yes. I feel we could operate as one as long as we can keep the identity of the original association--for example, if I were to join the Legion as a member of the federation of veterans, would I be allowed to wear my blue blazer? Would I be allowed to wear my blue beret?
I understand that's one of the problems we're addressing, and I understand that problem could be addressed in the affirmative in that there would be no problem. So a qualified answer is yes, as long as the identification of the other veterans organizations can be kept.
