Must be talking to different vets

In response to Fred Richards' letter to the editor telling the readers that the veterans he spoke to agreed with him about not naming the new library after Frank Sandoval is absurd. We certainly are not talking with the same veterans. All of the veterans I spoke with agreed with me on this matter.

Maybe I should not have used the word "demand" in my letter about naming the library but I have seen so much of the suffering some of the vets go through that in my exuberance to get something accomplished for one of our fallen heroes (which would honor all vets), I got carried away in my summation of the situation.

Also, if Fred Richards feels "betrayed" by my efforts, he might consider nominating someone else who he believes might be more deserving. Maybe a non-vet such as Charles Manson?

I will continue gathering signatures and will not be deterred in my efforts.
