Several more bills are aimed at helping veterans.

As previously noted, the state legislature is considering a number of proposals to help current and former members of the military.

A few more recently filed bills would:

* Encourage state and local government to use small contractors who are veterans;

* Exempt pay to National Guard members and reservists from the state income tax;

* Create a special license plate for graduates of U.S. military academies;

* Fund an N.C. Military Business Center office in Boone;

* Get Medicaid funds for traumatic brain injuries; and

* Study mental health services for veterans.

I'd also like to see them really step up to the plate and stop letting those leftist longhairs "march on" and threaten the ROTC offices on our college campuses, particularly the one at UNC-Chapel Hill.

A group called the Gatherng of Eagles often has to step up and go stand in front of the office, daring these liberal pacifist wimps to do anything. I don't ever see this reported in this paper.

Thankfully, the Gathering of Eagles are big guys. They ride motorcycles scare the liberals to death with the mere sight of an American flag! Bravo, GOE! These guys want to protect what's ours.

If you libs love socialism and hate the military so much, enjoy your new life in Europe. Why do you think so many of them are coming here?
