Sue,
It is all about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is called
freedom. That is what our Veterans have fought and died for.
These are all of our rights. We don't want to see a handful of people
(regardless of Veteran status) tamper with our rights for which 20
generations have fought to preserve.

Are you saying that one has to be a veteran to make solid decisions? Or if
one is not a veteran and makes a decision with which you do not agree, their
decision is somehow less than valid because of their lack of veteran status?

Just a simple question that deserves a simple, yet civil, answer like
"yes" or "no".
