I think this bill is a good idea. It's important to honor our servicemembers who have sacrificed so much for our country. I hope this happens soon. It would be nice to see those stamps on letters and packages. #supportourtroops Long term, this bill could help raise awareness about the sacrifices of our servicemembers and bring communities together in support of our military.
