Written on Deadline near for Cottonwood Rodeo Parade theme contest :

What are the rules for entry? Is there already a theme for the Rodeo?

Written on Korean War memorial dedicated Saturday at Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo :

I just read the article on the Korean War Memorial Dedication. It was a well written and well covered article. I am extremely proud that this was done for those who gave their lives and service to this country and got slapped in the face when they came home and literlly shamed by their fellow Americans. I would like all of them to know that they have NOT been forgotten and should hold their head up high. To serve God and Country is the highest honor one can achieve and they did both.

On that vein of thought, I would like to send an invitation to all that read this. The invitation is to donate a jacket, a sweater, gloves, blankets, sleeping bags, socks, good shoes still wearable, knit hats or earmuffs/flaps or any personal items you may be able to provide. These articles are being collected for those who came home and are now out on the streets. Some by choice, others not so. I am ashamed to say there are thousands of our Vets trying their best to live out there. They won't ask for help. They are too proud for that. I know this, they know this, but I'm not afraid to ask for help for them.

Please help me to help them. I will get the items to them. e-mail me at JacketsforVets@gmail.com for information on drop off points in Anderson and Cottonwood.

God Bless and Merry Christmas.

Written on Veteran helps clothe, feed others:

Hoo Rah Marine! My thanks to Mr. Streetman.

I am trying to help this same organization by collecting things they can use. Anyone reading this, can help by contacting me via e-mail for particulars.

There is no time to delay. The help is needed now.
