THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Soldier character not related to refuge decision


Regarding the March 4 letter “Gruber use doesn’t justify GMA takeover,” Joan Morrison, you have the right to your opinion and the right to express it  in the daily newspaper. 

This right comes at a high price that our troops and their families have paid.

I was upset with your paragraph that called  some of those training at  Camp Gruber as “weekend warriors.” Many of  these men and women have been deployed and  some have not returned.  

God bless these men and women and their families. By the way, I have a grandson in Afghanistan. He is a Marine. I thank our troops daily.
