Vote to give dime to veterans

To the editor:

Please join me in voting for a renewal of and updated (no tax increase) Keweenaw County Veteran’s Millage Proposal. What’s asked is just 0.1 mill to provide support and assistance services for our veterans. That’s 10 cents per $1,000 of your property’s taxable value. My cost will be about $4.95 per year; most property owners will pay less. The good accomplished, considerable, the good feeling gained — priceless!

Justice and decency cry out for this proposal. Numerous veterans carry scars outside and and inside, both physical and emotional. Many veterans are soft-spoken and too proud to seek assistance services.

This proposal shows respect for our veterans and helps ensure their dignity. They have earned our support. How a community treats its veterans speaks loudly of that community’s character. Together, let’s make assistance services available when needed.

As a long-time scoutmaster, my young men were taught how to become someone you’d like to have as your neighbor, to “do a good deed daily.” Tuesday, Aug. 7 we all can do our “good deed.” Vote a dime for veterans, it’s the right thing to do!
