Every year in the United States, we commemorate and honor the fallen soldier who, since the Civil War, gave up his life fighting

For most of us, the holiday season is a time for reunions with family and friends in which we express an appreciation for all our blessings

I recently read a most gratifying and informative article regarding the military service of Native American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians who have served in the U. S. Armed Forces.

In San Jacinto, On October 5, there was a deadly shooting in a Motel, then on October 8 a father and son shooting during a family disturbance and on October 9 a clerk in a smoke shop was gunned down, and only two more weeks before the month is out. How many more gun related tragedies must we endure in October?

Even back when I was growing up a long time ago, bullying in the schools was customary. The bigger kids knocked around little kids physically and psychologically as they do now and parents when told about it, had to navigate through the pain that their children were experiencing in hopes of really understanding their feelings and circumstances to do something about the problem, as they do now.
