The submarine veterans of World War II have seen this coming for a long time.
At their national convention this month, 62 veterans attended where thousands used to go.
The U.S. Submarine Veterans of World War II disbanded at the end of its convention Sept. 7 in Norfolk, Va. Local chapters now must decide whether to continue operating under another name or to dissolve as well.
This is a shame. Several years ago they voted against allowing submariners without World War 2 service to join their organization. Several members disagreed with this vote and left to start a new submarine organization, United States Submarine Veterans Incorporated.
