Praising decision

Dear Editor:

As a veteran of 24 years of active-duty service and another 23 years wearing the uniform of a JROTC Senior Army instructor, I am appreciative that I live in a community that is so supportive of veterans.

I am also appreciative and would like to commend the Limestone County Commission for supporting the Alabama Veterans Museum in its quest to obtain the Limestone County Event Center.

The support of this worthwhile endeavor reflects great credit upon the commission and upon their desire to support every veteran in the state of Alabama.

Sincerely,

Retired U.S. Army

Lt. Col. James L. Walker
