We Applaud Military Vets…

June 7, 2018

Dear Editor,

Replying to the “Regarding SPORTS” letter dated 5-4-2018 by USAF retiree Brent Bidus, the SPORTS Group would like to thank this veteran for his service to the country. Military careerists and decorated war veterans are the greatest of all for their service to the nation, whereby liberals, moderates, and conservative have the First Amendment freedom of expression to address their differences verbally or in writing, hopefully in a peaceable manner. And military veterans make the greatest sacrifices of any group to the nation; we applaud them!

Sincerely,

Ron Adamik
