Ruth Stonesifer New Dept of PA President
Ruth Stonesifer, National Corresponding Secretary, has been elected President of the
Dept of Pennsylvania, AGSM at the 2006 Department Convention.  Stonesifer, front row left, is currently trying to get legislation passed
in the Pennsylvania Assembly to create a "Gold Star Family" license plate.
"We've tried to make the qualifications for the Gold Star Family plate as broad as
possible" said Stonesifer.
"Currently all those qualified to receive the Gold Star Pin (see section 3 of DD-3) will also qualify for the Gold Star
Plate. I expect the bill, HR 2498, to pass the House when the Assembly reconvenes in June
and then move to the Senate. With luck it will be law before election day in
November."
Stonesifer encourages all members and their friends to call their legislators and ask
them to support House Bill 2498. Check the status of the bill here.
Update, the bill has passed and was signed into law on October 4,
2006. More information here.
