"Life  is  not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely 
in  a  pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in  broadside,  thoroughly used up,totally worn out, and 
loudly  proclaiming  --
WOW-- What a Ride!"

On  February 15, 2016, Senator Dean Heller of Nevada  introduced S. 2596. 
This bill would permit veterans  who have service-connected, total and 
permanent  disabilities to travel on military aircraft in the  same manner and to 
the same extent as retired members  of the armed forces are entitled to such 
 travel.

This bill would afford priority  to totally disabled veterans for 
transportation on  scheduled and unscheduled military flights within the  continental 
United States and on scheduled overseas  flights operated by the Air 
Mobility Command, on a  space-available basis. This bill is in accordance with  
DAV Resolution No. 094, seeking legislation to extend  space-available air 
travel aboard military aircraft to  all service-connected veterans entitled to 
receive  compensation at the 100% rate to the same extent and  under the 
same conditions as is currently provided to  retired military personnel.

Please use  the prepared e-mail or draft your own message to  request that 
your Senator support this important bill  and ask that the measure be 
brought to the floor for a  vote and passed as soon as  possible.

Thank you for all you do for  veterans and their families.
