Disabled Veterans Commemorative Coin Law Praised
President Bush made the American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Coin Act law with his signature last week. With that, a small mention of its passage in the mainstream media would be expected. But not so. Articles are sparse.
The new law (Public Law No: 110-277) will have the U.S. Mint issue up to 350,000 silver dollar coins in 2010 commemorating disabled American Veterans. $10 surcharges for each coin are to help build an American Veterans’ Disabled for Life Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Those most involved with the coin bill, congressman Dennis Moore [D-KS] and Mark Kirk [R-IL] who introduced it in January of 2007, have offered public praise.
