EDMOND — To the Editor:
Another Memorial Day is approaching, a time to remember all military veterans. I note almost daily as I read through the obituaries the number of veterans who are leaving us. There seems to be more lately.
I would like to remind readers that I continue to be a volunteer ambassador for the U.S. Army’s Freedom Team Salute program. This is a free outreach program to thank all U.S. Army veterans for their service to our country. Let’s honor the Army veterans in our lives now while we still can. Army veterans will receive an official commendation package from the Secretary of the Army and Army Chief of Staff that includes a personalized letter of thanks and certificate of appreciation, an Army lapel pin and two U.S. Army decals.
All I need is the name of the honorably discharged Army veteran (active, Army Guard or Army Reserve) and address. You also may include rank if known, but it is not required. Please send the information to my e-mail address at bhill87702@-aol.com or, if you prefer, call me at 330-0739, no collect calls please. You can also go to www.freedomteamsalute.com to honor your Army veteran today. This free commendation package will arrive within three to four weeks.
Let’s thank our U.S. Army veterans now while we can.
Happy Memorial Day.
William “Bill” Hill
Edmond

To the Editor:
On Feb. 14 patrons of District 2 have an opportunity to re-elect the current president of the Edmond School Board, Kathleen Duncan. Duncan has served as a board member for 10 years.

LETTER: Supporter calls Duncan caring, interactive
To the Editor:
In my 43-year career as a professor at the University of Central Oklahoma I wrote many a letter of recommendation for deserving students for jobs, graduate and professional schools and scholarships. Those letters are read by busy people who have important decisions to contemplate and my belief is they ought to be brief and on point. This is such a letter. -
LETTER: Supporter applauds Duncan’s persistent dedication
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter to support and endorse the re-election of Kathleen Duncan to the Edmond Board of Education next Tuesday.
