I am, curious what people think of this bill that is getting introduced here in Indiana?
http://www.pal-item.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti.../801210305/1008 QUOTE The military Flags would be flown at half-staff for 24 hours at the Indiana Capitol to honor each Indiana member of the military who is killed while on active duty, under Senate Bill 56. The bill was approved 7-0 by the Senate Commerce, Public Policy and Interstate Cooperation committee and is awaiting a vote by the full Senate. Sen. Brent Waltz, the Greenwood Republican who authored the bill, said he realized after last year's death of fellow Sen. Anita Bowser, D-Michigan City, that flags are lowered to honor lawmakers, but not service members who die. They have put their lives on the line, he said, and deserve the honor. |
