Letter to the Editor:

I met a crippled gentleman during our recent travels who had served in the military in Viet Nam. He spoke of returning to the U.S. on a litter and the tragic welcome he had received in California. At that time I was in Berkeley and can so sadly remember those demonstrations by somewhat radical individuals. Despite the fact that our involvement in Viet Nam was an undeclared war and a very unpopular military action, to treat returning soldiers with unbelievable disrespect is intolerable. Luckily there are several programs in Canada and locally to honor our current returning military. But there are so many veterans from other wars and military actions that need to be honored at some time during their lives. Let’s not forget them.

The Dolphin welcomes letters from our readers on any subject that is of general interest to our audience. Letters should be 300 words or less (with exceptions at the Dolphin’s discretion). Letters reflect the opinion of the writer, and not that of Dolphin Talk staff, and we retain the right to determine suitability for publication. It is the policy of this newspaper to promote area interests: therefore, complaints against local businesses should be directed elsewhere. Letters must be signed and include day and evening phone numbers, which will not be published. Your name will be withheld upon request, but anonymous material will not be considered for publication.
