Subject: NC House Bill: "Bill 346 Partially Disabled Veterans/FreePlates/Parking"
Dear Col. Dan,
I am writing to ask that if you have room on your news list? To post information that the NC House has a Bill: "Bill 346 Partially Disabled Veterans/FreePlates/Parking" which would provide (if passed?) free special license plates in North Carolina for Partially Disabled Veterans.
Attached is the New Bill in the NC House "Bill 346 Partially Disabled
Veterans/FreePlates/Parking", which would provide a free license plate for
Partially Disabled Veterans (the same that is already available for 100 percent
Disabled Veterans, former POW's, and Purple Heart recipients).
If you live in North Carolina and support this Bill 346? then contact your NC
House Representative, and NC State Senator and ask that they support and
co-sponsor this Bill 346.
Below my signature is the Bill Details and the links to the NC State site.
Please pass along this to all Disabled Veterans who have a VA rating and live in North
Carolina.
Sincerely,
Ray B Davis, Jr
