Comment on Flags Fly for Vietnam Fallen Soldiers by Nancy L Goodhue

I went by there earlier today and wondered what was going on. Did presume it was for Memorial Day. How wonderful to honor those who served us during the Vietnam War. How many of our men and women came home to the states and were put down while they were fighting for our freedom. Thankfully, our armed service personnel are treated with kindness and thankfulness when they return to the states. Very glad to see this group of men and women being remembered for their sacrifices.

I drove by the display this afternoon and almost stopped completely in traffic. Very impressive. I’m glad I saw your explanation tonight. I’m proud to be American and of my country’s flag! We need Memorial Day and symbolic displays such as these flags representing our fallen heroes. They help bring bring reality to information. Thank you. God bless them and God bless America!

Thank you for doing this. What a compassionate way to acknowledge those who died or were injured but at the same time acknowledge the achievements of the runners.

Sounds like a great project and opportunity. Plenty of benefits already but another might be the opportunity to introduce students to careers in the renewable energy industry on all fronts: design/engineering, installation and maintenance.

Dear Mayor Dolan and the Melrose Community:
Keep up the good work on “New Year – New Directions.” In my personal opinion, the time has come when Massachusetts has to step up to be a leader in this area. Violent video games and excessive gaming is a significant public health, mental health and academic health issue. Suggested reading for all: “The Dumbest Generation – How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardize Our Future” by Mark Bauerlein.

20 years ago I asked Marianne for help finding literature for my step-daughter and learned to love the Melrose Library Children’s room as I raised my own daughters. Thank you, Marianne, for your wonderful contributions to our city.
