Re: Veterans fishing trip
Somewhere on this site (or maybe on FB) I once saw a boat near the Raritan that offered free trips for 100% disabled vets. It was amazing to see the photos of those elated guys with big fish.
As an unwounded/lucky Navy retiree, the benefits my family gets are wonderful. It amazes me how many free meals I could collect on 11/11 (if I were interested in gaining more weight). I just can't see myself expecting any more thanks and freebies than I already enjoy. This may sound corny, but I've learned over time that in a whole lot of ways a career in service is its own reward.
I'd prefer to see more freebies for disabled first responders, especially for the parts of NJ inside the gravitational field of Lower Manhattan.
