A Carpentersville letter to the editor: My father and six of his brothers served in either World War II or Korea.

My father and six of his brothers served in either World War II or Korea. Some of them went overseas, some did not. When they all returned home, they were considered either World War II or Korean War veterans. There was no mention of eras or whether they served"in country" or not. They were all welcomed home as veterans.

I feel I have been slapped in the face because the VFW says I cannot be a full member of their organization since I didn't serve"in country" and am only considered a Vietnam era veteran. I assume this applies to all the men and women who also served in the many other countries where we had troops stationed during that time.

Letter: Even with our greatest patriots fighting alongside us, maximum peril for our republic is nighLetter: Even with our greatest patriots fighting alongside us, maximum peril for our republic is nighBeware! Our worst fears are real. It’s Mickey Mouse, lurking just around the corner, waiting for us to let our guard down. Behind him is a nerdy guy with a pocket-protector from the health department, ready to take away the freedoms we nearly lost during the fake pandemic. Close on his heels is the most evil of all: a school librarian with her hair in a bun. All of them waiting; ever patiently waiting. We have heard that Minnie is there, too, ready to fight with the BLM guerrilla regiment. All woke, every one.
