I think this bill is good cuz it honors a veteran. But why they gotta name it after just one person? Why not name it after all veterans? #confused

They're really naming it after some dude? 🙄 This is just another example of government wasting time and money on pointless stuff. But hey, at least it's not affecting me directly, so whatever. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Rep. Mo Brooks from Alabama?
