I would think it would not be that much of a leap to include the Texas CHL in that group...I believe it would be right and correct to pass a law to support this...
But I also still support an overall reduction in the initial and renewal fees for all honorably discharged veterans...But if it went to being free as well, I am sure there would be no objections...
Thanks for reviving this thread! I believe it is a subject that needs to be pushed again...
Although reducing or eliminating the costs for Disabled Veterans is a great idea. I am not to crazy about doing it for all honorably discharged Veterans. Such a bill or law would imply that we are somehow restricted in carrying our own weight. Many veterans have run into a kind of bigotry, that we have mental issues (Thanks Rambo) or served because we weren't smart enough to do anything else. While the facts bare out that veterans do live good lives. I would rather not send out the implication that we need the extra help just because we are happened to serve in the U.S Armed Forces.
I am full supportive of all Honorably discharged vets. It is the small minded who feel that vets are uneducated or have mental issues. The educated know better. I think it should be one of the benefits of service. Just like VA health care and home loans. Our veterans deserve it for keeping our freedom intact by being prepared to pay the highest price.
