Better yet, when Bush jr stood on the deck of the carrier and declared =
the
war was over, does that count as a presidential proclamation, thus =
denying
benefits to veterans and families after that date?

Hello Members: Some interesting info I thought I'd pass along. I have =
the
2000 Edition of the " Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents =
Handbook,
VA Pamphlet 80-00-1." In this booklet it lists dates of "Wartime =
Service"
that under the law are recognized as war periods in order to determine
certain benefits.
=20
We have: Mexican Border Period - May 9, 1916 through April 5, 1917.
=20
WWI - April 6,1917 through November 11, 1918.
=20
WWII - December 7, 1941 through December 31, 1946.
=20
Korean Conflict - June 27, 1950 through January 31, 1955.=20
=20
Vietnam Era - August 5, 1964 through May 7, 1975.
=20
GULF WAR - AUGUST 2, 1990, THROUGH A DATE TO BE SET BY LAW OR =
PRESIDENTAL
PROCLAMATION.
=20
So, does this mean that we have been engaged in the longest war of our
recent history? That we have had three "Wartime" Presidents? That =
Daddy
Bush started the Gulf War, Clinton played footsies under the table and =
did
nothing about it, and now Baby Bush is just carrying on an American
tradition? Think about it. . . . we were attacked on our own shores =
during
wartime on 9/11. =20
