Calling all Vets and those who support Vets - pennyfarmer - 07-17-2005
I just got back from reserves for Saturday. We had a VA brief and the lecturer said something very interesting. He said the VA was trying to get the State of Utah to issue free fishing licenses to any and all Vets.
If you are service related disabled you can currently get many license fees waived but they are lobbying to get this benefit for all Vets. He instructed us to contact our State Represenative to voice our support. Just a thought. This would be a great benefit for many Vets and to remind Vets that the community still appreciates them. Just remember what many Vets have sacrificed even in "peacetime"<----(yeah right).
Yes many volunteered, I for one feel real obligations to the country and my fellow citizens. I am not in a combat role but think that I do contribute to many aspects, and that is why I serve. I guess I could go on and on but this is just my 2 cents.

[#505000]I could go or this. Not only because I would benefit (having been a peacetime vet unless you count the Somalia, and Kosovo things which I wasn't a part of. I've been around and done a lot in my relatively short lifetime, ). But even if I wasn't a vet I think it is a small token to show our appreciation for those who have really made some serious sacrifices for us.[/#505000]

Pennyfarmer,
That would be a good deal, and you don't get to many deals in Utah. As a senior, we get a couple bucks off our fishing license, some States the seniors get half price, and if I remember right some States they don't have to pay a dime.
