Forgive and forget? Not in this world

Dear Editor, Some people try to forgive but they never forget.  The people of Israel will never forget the October 7th massacre by Hamas which barbarically took the lives of over 1400 people. The goal of Israel now is to eliminate Hamas by whatever means it takes.  In the process of Israel now avenging their rage, innocent civilian Palestinians are being killed by Israel’s aggression. 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…

The Flag Issue & Veterans Day

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. To quote the secretary of defense “Flags are powerful symbols…” In history, military units from the earliest time would follow their Flag into battle.  In early times there were Coats Of Arms held above the battlefield so the armies could identify were their unit or leaders were located. The term “rally round the flag” can have various meanings depending what context it is used…

Be grateful if you aren’t in the story

Dear Editor, I’m burned out watching the news. I don’t enjoy feeling like I want to throw up. There has to be more to life than taking in the world headlines every morning and every evening. However, I have to pause and give thanks because I’m not part of the news story. I don’t want to be because news is typically bad.  When you turn on the morning or evening news the first few minutes is filled with all the bad news in the world and your area. Innocent people in Israel being ripped apart by hate-filled religious terrorists.  Innocent civilians…

Keep working, somebody has to pay for all this

Dear Editor, Prayers for the devastated people in the Middle East.  Prayers for the families who have had loved ones murdered before their very eyes.  Prayers for the families who have loved ones held as hostages. We pray for their safety and release.  Prayers that hate filled terrorists may be overcome. Why do we have such evil on this planet? Why is there so much hate tied to a religion? Why is religion used to carry out barbaric acts of murder and violence? Because evil is an unrelenting force. Evil can make anything bad. The goal of any religion should…
