Colonel Kelly St. Clair It's the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press. It's the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It's the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom of assembly. It's the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It's the VETERAN, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote. It's the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. South Dakota Songbook "That's the News" by Merle Haggard Suddenly it's over, the war is fin'lly done. Soldiers in the desert sand, still clingin' to a gun. No-one is the winner an' everyone must lose. Suddenly the war is over: that's the news. Suddenly celebrity is somethin' back in style. Back to runnin' tabloid for a while. Pain's almost everywhere, the whole world's got the blues. Suddenly the war is over: that's the news. That's the news, that's the news. That's the ever-lovin', blessed, headline news. Someone's missin;' in Modesto, an' it's sad about the clues. Suddenly the war is over: that's the news. Suddenly the cost of war is somethin' out of sight. Lost a lotta heroes in the fight. Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues. Suddenly the war is over, that's the news. That's the news, that's the news. That's the ever-lovin', blessed, headline news. Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues. Suddenly the war is over, that's the news. Please Watch This Obscene Movie by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate ABC is going to run a repeat of the movie "Saving Private Ryan". About 20 stations that are ABC affiliates are not going to go along with the network citing fear of obscenity fines. On this Veterans Day, I believe that it is the right, perhaps even the duty, of all Americans to watch this film. Is this movie obscene? Well, of course it is. It's a war picture. WAR IS OBSCENE!!! The brave men that fought on the beaches of Normandy know that firsthand. James Doohan, who all trekies like me know as "Scotty", was a member of the RAF on D-day. He was there. He lost a finger. He saw this film in the theater when it was premiered, and told Steven Spielberg that the movie was very realistic. I ask all of you Readers to watch this movie on your ABC station if you are able. Come on now, "Survivor" isn't that good anyway. If I can skip it, so can you. We're lucky. We can look away, or turn the channel, or even turn the TV off. That wasn't an option for the boys who became men on that day 60 years ago. We should always remember what they wish they could forget. 4000 Americans died in that man-made hell. Let's pray that we never have a battle like that again. We can discuss our respective views on this film at the Holabird Advocate Forum page later.
