If they can die for our country then they should be able to drink anytime they are in uniform.

Convinced that existing laws aren’t working, state Sen. Hinda Miller has taken a first step toward rolling back the legal age by introducing a bill that would establish a task force to weigh the pros and cons and make a recommendation to the Legislature later this year.
