Your mission garden sounds fantastic. Hope you can get some of the youth involved - youngsters usually get involved and enthusiastic after seeing seeds/plants they put in the ground growing and producing.
Red, here is some information, please pass it on to other vets who may not have gotten the word. For those of us shopping at Lowes and other stores which give vet discounts, this helps.
Veteran Driver License:
The Dept of Public Safety shall include the designation “Veteran” on the face of any class or type of Texas driver license issued to a Veteran.
To be elegible for the Veteran designation to be placed on their driver license, the Veteran must present a DD-214 or DD215 (corrected copy of DD-214) signifying they received an honorable discharge or general (under honorable conditons) from the branch of service in which the person served.
