*************************
POSSIBLE TALKING POINTS (be respectful)
Who is changing this sign going to help?
What is it going to cost and who is going to pay?
How will changing a street name affect public safety, etc. (street name confusion, etc.)?
Forrest, by act of US Congress is an American Veteran, deserving of the benefits, changing the sign would be dis-respecting veterans
Find the vandals and put them in jail
Keep the veterans - punish the vandals!
