Bill for Ft. Hood Victims as Combatants

U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, Texas, is introducing legislation for Ft. Hood victims. It would declare them victims of an act of war.

This would grant the same rights and privileges to those who are wounded or killed in combat. These include maximum life insurance payments, Purple Hearts, and more in disability payments. It would also award civilians the Secretary of Defense Medal for the Defense of Freedom.

Ft. Hood was an act of war. No two ways about it. Support this bill.

Anything extra we can do for our men, women, and civilians in military service should be supported. We cannot do enough. Even this will not be enough.

We also need to be more diligent in terror acts on American soil. There was and is no excuse for this act.

Hopefully, this bill will be supported by all and enacted quickly.

Some Military Service members from 9/11 eligible for money

9/11 is still etched in our memories. None more than military members who were affected. Some had their enlistments involuntarily extended. We are not making judgments on whether this was right or wrong. We always like to think that we do things for the good of the world and country. A bill passed over the summer allows service members who had their enlistment extended are now eligible for $500 a month. You get it through the Department of Defense and it's called Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay. If you are eligible, be sure and collect. A very small monetary "gift" from all of us.
