Thank a vet every chance you get

It’s coming. Memorial Day.

I work at the Good and Fast Mini-mart (next to Paddy’s Pub) as a cashier. Last year I worked at the Casablanca Gift Shop, in Mesquite as a cashier. A man walked in with a veteran’s cap and jacket. I took care of his purchase, thrust my hand out and with all my heart said, “It is an honor to meet you. Thank you for your sacrifice.” He thanked me and left.

One vet said thanks and it was his duty. His duty? He sacrificed that time of his life, his family, friends, to fight for you, me, possibly his life, for the United States.

I have shaken over one hundred hands and will always do so. I applaud these service men and women. I am an American and proud of it!

Thank you.

If Gov. Newsom wants to facilitate reconstruction, he might also request technical help from those running states and municipalities who actually know how to encourage development rather than relying on those expert in killing it.

Hope all Nye County residents are going to enjoy your gift from the BOCC. You say, “what gift?” Your stocking contained the ever-not-desirable solar fields.

Basically, what they are doing is taking away what we have saved for the winter months and not compensating us for what they have taken from us.
