I have an idea to save lives, stimulate the economy and make your day more interesting. Everyone stop reading AP stories! Without fail those stories use the right mix of cutting-edge political correctness to lull our communities into ignoring murderers and thieves among us. Not to mention that AP stories are boring! They have much less interesting and relevant details when compared to similar stories and opinions covered by news sites like Fox News or the World Net Daily. You don’t even have to agree with their politics. Just see for yourself by doing your own comparison of similar articles.

Dear Editor,

Upon returning from 2 weeks vacation, my wife brought to my attention the column "readers speak out" published on Oct. 13th, 2009 Journal.

For anyone that did not get a chance to see The Wall when it was in Desloge, there is a Web site at VietnamVeteran MemorialFund (vvmf.org) that you can go to. You can leave rememberances, do rubbings of the names, etc. We have several local heros on the wall, but few of us have left anything. It's well worth your time to check it out. There is also a place for teachers and administrators that would like to teach about Vietnam. It is FREE. Please remember all of our heros both that are on the wall and those that survived to come home.
