A time to remember and to resolve for the future. Joe Smith and Fre'd Jones died taking Hill 73 somewhere Korea sometime last year. It was their Big Job in defending Freedom for their families and their nation. But Hill 73 is NOTHING unless we, who are left behind, give purpose to their deed. Let us resolve now, to take greater interest in the business of BEING AMERICANS in the future of our government to vote (and THINK before we vote) at every election to make America stronger, free-er, greater! This is the salute that all the Joes and Freds would prefer us to give them, on this Memorial Day, rSPAPERf.
