We have to stand with what we put out on our website, our flyers, any information we have already put out without making "back room" exceptions to our registration as it stands.

>>> The exception that we make on a case by case basis is too flawed structurally and philosophically.  What does it mean to be a veteran; someone who went to base camp and learned carpentry and then left the army? Yes that's a vet who gets veteran benefits; it's my brother.  His beneifts are great. Does he need to be comped to a conference because  he's a vet NO.
