One of the difficulties is when the veterans are given a tax break, the rest of the citizens are going to be taxed more heavily.
They obviously don't know what the rest of their life is going to be. But looking at veterans like myself, they can see they can live a normal life.
It is an acknowledgement of the veterans' service. The fact that the towns are going to the full capacity, it's money, but it's also a gesture on their behalf to thank the veterans for the time they put on a uniform.
