Dear editor:
Social Security benefits received from the U.S. government are exempt from Arkansas state taxes; so be the benefits received from the U.S. government, income from the military retirement (over 20 years of active military duty). At present, only $6,000 is exempt from Arkansas state taxes.
The five words we hear, "Thank you for your service," does not help the veteran.
