“National Thank-A-Vet Day” Bill Petition
I was over snooping at a site which lead me back to another site: Found a Petition that sounds like something that I think should be considered. They even say in the first block that this issue is bigger than parties affiliation. my only suggestion is that they change to a "week" as on one site they listed the current recognized weeks (i pasted below from FR), and it should deserve as much recognition. The Daily Jabber said they would recognize any site that helps. We should show the others up as it is a much larger matter than the stuff we talk about most of the time. I'm going to support it but leave message from that i seen it on DU.
