This is an excellent idea. Thanks Mr. Johnson for doing this for our veterans.

Maybe you should learn a little more about the military before you brandish your ignorance in a public forum. Most are NOT high school dropouts. Many are educated beyond high school, in fact to become an officer you need a college education. And it is because of the sacrifices these men and women have made that you still have the right to express your opinion, no matter how moronic it may be.

I think it's great!! These vets have most DEFINITELY earned this benefit and I am glad this is finally in effect. And fyi...this change was in the works long before Obama was in office.

Oh one other thing....the armed forces quit taking high school dropouts years ago. Not only do they have to finish high school in order to enlist, they also have to meet an academic standard too. These are smart young men and women who have EARNED this benefit.

These "illegals" are felons, so treat them that way.

Carl was a good friend of mine. I was crushed when I found out he had cancer in the first place, but when I heard he was in the hospital with pnemonia- that was a totally different feeling. I went to visit him twice in the hospital and I just remember no matter how tired he was and how much he just wanted to not be going through this- when I woke him up for that few seconds - he was always smiling. We liked to get together after he would get back from the VA hospital from having treatments and have a "family supper." He would pick where we went and it would be him, his mom, his brother (Mitch) my daughter and me most of the time. I still can't believe that he was so upbeat with all that going on in his life. He was one tough cookie. Carl was and forever will be loved by many. We will miss him dearly.

When I heard about Carl's death all I could picture is this little boy I used to babysit for. My name is Janell Tschida (Hoppe), my parents use to live by Greg and Debbie when Carl was just a little tot. Hearing how he was as an adult doesn't surprise me in the least. The Carl I use to babysit was just as funny and always making me laugh, always wanting to do something weather it was coloring in a book or just going to the park and running all day long. Seeing his picture I would of never recognized him. Last time I saw Carl probably was when he was 7 yrs old. Keeping my prayers and thoughts for this tough time for all who knew Carl and to his family. God bless you all.

Thank you all so much for the sacrifices you have made to help the Iraqi people. Freedom isn't free!! I pray for the soldier's families who lost their loved ones. Please don't think that your sacrifices aren't appreciated. You guys are the reason are children can play in our backyards with peace and freedom. Thank you for our freedom!!!
