Thousands are being killed. What is this doing to the minds of the Palestinians? Palestinians who survive Israel’s aggression will forever have an internal malice and hate toward Israel that will never be forgotten. Most likely…

Dear Editor, As a veteran and the former parade organizer for several years, here in Kingman, I would like to insert my thoughts on the current issues that involved Flags in the Kingman Veterans Day Parade.
