Our Saturday volunteer, Mr. Dan Flynn, wrote to me about his conversation with Mark and Linda Brown of Mercer during their visit to the Memorial and Heritage Center on June 3. Mr. Flynn provided me with Mercere's Memorial Day web site which I have just perused. It is heartwarming to find an entire community that still appreciates what America's armed forces' personnel have sacrificed to ensure our liberty and to bring liberty to other nations in this world. Thank you, Mercer, for an excellent tribute to all these fine men and women. Arlington, VA jhsheffield@comcast.net Daniel Flynn Sunday, 6/4/06, 8:25 AM I volunteer at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, DC and while on watch on Saturday the 3rd of June I had the happy occasion to meet Mark and Linda Brown, who told me of your attemts to keep Memorial Day alive in the minds of the people, especially the young ones. I applaud your efforts and invite the whole town of Mercer to come visit us at the Memorial. We are located on the nations main street, Pennsylvania Ave., halfway between the White House and the Capitol, across from the National Archives.

6 Florida Joseph D. Hood Monday, 5/29/06, 6:32 AM Our son, Joseph L. Hood, served in Vietnam and was awarded two Army Commendation medals and a Bronze Star for his actions in the Central Highlands. But like most Vietnam Veterans, he certainly has felt snubbed by most of the public. Your Parade and associated ceremonies has brought him from his home in Ohio back home to Mercer on this day, where I am sure he feels some measure of gratitude for his efforts. Thank you.

8 County. Dave Bailey Mercer, Pa Christian Bright Monday, 3/13/06, 7:10 AM I really enjoyed the website, design layout and content. Thank you for putting the time and effort into helping us remember the sacrifices of our predecessors. In today's controversy over the events in Iraq, many Americans have forgotten the veterans who have kept our homeland safe and our ideals alive throughout the years. Whatever your feelings about the Iraq war, it is important to remember who bought your freedom with their own lives.

What memories it brought back from my childhood...marching with the Girl Scouts and later the Rainbow Girls and the High School band.
