Support the Blue Star/Gold Star Flag Act of 2009 (H.R. 2546)

Support the Blue Star/Gold Star Flag Act of 2009 (H.R. 2546)

Dear Sean ,Today is Memorial Day, and for those of us who served, and
the families of those who were lost in war, it is a solemn day.We
honor those who gave their lives in defense of the United States.
While VoteVets.org is primarily made up of veterans from 21st century
service, we're immensely respectful of those who served with honor and
made the ultimate sacrifice in generations past, and remember we owe
our lives to them and their heroism.And, while we honor those who lost
their lives, it is also a time to remember that the families of the
fallen are still alive, with a unique set of challenges that only
those who lost someone in war could ever know.  And, there are
families who have a loved one serving, who worry for them every day.

Congressman  John Boccieri, an Iraq war veteran who VoteVets.org PAC
supported in his election, has introduced legislation guaranteeing
that Blue Star Families and Gold Star Families (those who lost a loved
one) can put a service flag in their windows in any residential
property, without limitation.  This bill just makes common sense.

We're supporting his Blue Star/Gold Star Flag Act of 2009 (H.R. 2546)
and are asking you to take today to join us in our petition to
Congress to immediately pass the bill.

CLICK HERE TO LET BLUE STAR AND GOLD STAR FAMILIES HONOR THEIR LOVED ONES

Let's  use this Memorial Day to make sure that as we honor those who
gave their lives, we also make a commitment allow all military
families to properly honor their loved ones, too.

Sincerely,Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran
Chairman, VoteVets.org
And Brandon, Peter, Brian and the entire VoteVets.org team
