Dear Senator,
Subject: Proposed Patriot Relief Act
I write as a proud American <<Type the reason you are supporting this great cause and signing the online petition>> today, to urge enactment of The Patriot Relief Act. This would not be just for recognition; it would be a bold action to tangibly honor those who’ve faced war’s horrors for our freedoms. Even one day in combat, conducted in a theater of armed conflict, should earn a lifetime of tax relief to show our country’s continuing gratitude.
I, like the great majority of Americans, have not risked my life as those who fought - and fight – for our freedoms have done, are doing, and will do.  Please let the voices of Americans who have not served and never will serve in combat be heard with the passage of such legislation as our way of saying thank you to those who have.  The following is suggested language: 	
The Patriot Relief Act:
•	Whereas our freedoms require defense through combat, risking grave harm or death; and 
•	Whereas a few brave patriots endure such harm or death on our behalf;
•	Be it enacted that any U.S. combat veteran, having served under threat of imminent danger, shall be exempt from federal income taxes for life.
Senator <<Senators Last Name>>, you’ve pledged to prioritize veterans. The suggested Act would deliver a concrete reward for those who have risked, and will risk, all. You and your patriotic allies in Congress could do this now. Our brave current and future combat veterans have earned such a showing of our gratitude.
Please, Senator <<Senators Last Name>>, take the lead in having The Patriot Relief Act enacted, and then sign it into law. Please, take the lead in tangibly proving our nation’s gratitude to every combat veteran for their service and sacrifice. I’m ready to help make this law reality—contact me anytime.
Thank you for your great service and sacrifice to America, Senator <<Senators Last Name>>. And thank you in advance for acting swiftly on this non-partisan, non-political issue.
Sincerely,
