Each time the library gave up a policy I would get more email message access to write.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; But, it was my letter writing that was the building blocks to my access to the internet which I still do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;With this said this small daily news paper does come up with stories I really appreciate. One of them is about an organistion started in Ohio by some Vietnam Veterans that want to return to that country to make a difference and see the sector they served in. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;So, this vietnam vet organisation had established chapters in each state that wants to join. This community really got behind the organisation and have already had a city councilwoman as a volunteer going to Vietnam and putting a little elbow grease in building nieghborhood schools for the children in the villages they go to see. Have you heard of this organisation?&lt;br&gt;Sincerely Yours,&lt;br&gt;James Erdmanczyk&lt;br&gt;Registered Voter&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Purple-hearted candor</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/28/385486.aspx#387776</link><pubDate>Sun, 30 Sep 2007 04:25:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:387776</guid><dc:creator>Don Blevins</dc:creator><description>Th is in all effect, another Veit-Nam, whereas tours were extended to cover for the lack of drafted soliders and Marines. From a combat veterans (former) perspective, it is time to either with draw ALL forces, as we are not welcomed( as we felt the same in Nam, or to instate the draft and face the aftermath and the social upheaval of same. How say you America? Do we kill your sons and daughters for a no win war or do we take them home?</description></item><item><title>Purple-hearted candor</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/28/385486.aspx#451374</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 Nov 2007 19:38:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:451374</guid><dc:creator>Stephanie, Alb, NM</dc:creator><description>Is there a website that lists all casualties in 2007?</description></item><item><title>Purple-hearted candor</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/28/385486.aspx#463543</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Nov 2007 01:58:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:463543</guid><dc:creator>JIM B ,CLEARWATER, FL</dc:creator><description>REST IN PEACE MY FELLOW SOLIDERS.
