"Space Available" eligibility for 100% service connected disabled veterans

Expand Air Mobility Command Space Available flight eligibility to include veterans rated by the Department of Veterans Affairs as 100% service connected disabled.

Why is this important?

Military retirees and their dependents (such as myself and wife) are eligible for "Space Available" flights on Air Mobility Command aircraft. Only otherwise wasted seats are used. Of the six category levels of "Space A" eligibility, I'm only asking that my level, the 6th and lowest, be expanded to include veterans rated by the Department of Veterans Affairs as 100% service connected disabled. My wife and I have flown to England, Germany, California, Ohio, Maryland, etc. via Space A as Category 6 passengers. How unfair it is that those who gave everything but their lives for their Country, that were medically separated and did not have a chance to retire from the military, are not eligible for Space A. Extending this benefit to these totally disabled veterans would cost NOTHING! Remember, only otherwise wasted seats are used for Space A, and all the administrative systems are already in place and operational.
