Honoring the fallen

I made a bank deposit recently and noticed the flag at the bank was at half-mast. I asked the teller who was being remembered. She said a soldier from Eureka, Kan., had been killed.

This remembrance would never happen in Berkley, Ca. With a lump in my throat, I told her to tell the people in charge that “it was a good idea.”

The bank was Capitol Federal Savings and Loan, home office in Topeka.

My praises go to all those who honor our military.

If SanFranNanGram kicks the bucket three plastic surgeons in SF will go out of business!

If Nancy pelosi kicks the bucket Berkeley would honor her before honoring any soldier. How pathetic is that.

Excellent policy and very good letter.
