To the Editor:

This past week Gov. Christie signed a bill granting military families free access to beaches. This was a bipartisan measure. The bill permits military personnel, veterans, their spouses and dependent children over the age of 12 to use their military identification, form DD-214 25 or similar document, or a state driver’s license or identification card, indicating that the holder is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces, for beach access instead of having to pay for a beach tag.

This past Saturday my wife and I went to the beach at Ninth Street in Ship Bottom, as we do most weekend days.
