Letter To The Editor – What To Be Proud Of
To The Editor:
I was asked to offer the opening prayer at the Hoosick Falls Memorial Day Service on behalf of our Ecumenical Association as well as our Church to all our citizens gathered at the park. What an honor. As many of you already know, my dad and most of my aunts and uncles served in combat during World War II. Friends, relatives and neighbors have served before and after that war. Our family came here and have been proud Americans since 1892. After the opening prayer, I left the gazebo to stand with the people; I am glad I left.

Letter To The Editor – Disabled Veteran Vs. Ignorant People
To the Editor,
I’m a member of my local fire dept. and an elected official. I served in OUR US Military and was injured in the Gulf War. I was challenged by another member of my disability by him asking questions, etc. It’s a shame that uneducated people have a certain picture in their heads of disabled people. How quickly people forget they have free speech because of my experience. Before you or someone you know judges someone else, give that person the benefit of the doubt; don’t jump to conclusions, and remember there is American with Disabilities Act and HIPPA in place for many reasons!
