Why not just send him up to Camp Lejeune and let the marines sort him out, or better yet, call his bluff.....send him off to Afghanistan or Iraq as a "marine" and let him take his chances. There is no punishment that will ever make up for the stealing of another person's identity and to pretend to be a marine is sacrilege!

Well, huzzah, you get the gong for spoilsport whether you wanted it or not. It just beggers believe that the only time some people want to read a newspaper is when it is full of murders or some other type of crime or tragedy. Sometimes people just want a "feel good" story to make all the other horrors happening in the world today seem a little less so.

I stand corrected. I have just moved on in my daily "read" of the paper and see that there was a program at the monument. I was too early to see it and I had to keep travelling on to my destination. Thank you Anderson for remembering those who have served past and present. We, veterans, also salute you for standing by us.

I was born in Anderson and had the pleasure of being there on Veteran"s Day. As a veteran what wasn't so pleasant was my inability to find the Veteran's monument. After several enquiries to numerous people I finally found it tucked in behind some government buildings off the beaten path. I found it looking lost and forlorn, without any flowers or signs of remembrance other than the plaques themselves. Maybe it was too early in the morning (9:30am) to expect anything to be happening so soon. I hope so. I don't understand why who ever made the decision to put the monument where they did didn't put it in a more easily accessible place to find. Most towns you go thru have their monuments right on the main entrance(Belton)in a place of pride. Why isn't Anderson's? Can someone tell me the story as to how it ended up where it is?

I hope they close the CC up here in Fayetteville. They have the worst customer service and you can't walk in the store without your ears being blasted off by the electronics/stereo department trying to sell yet another car system to people who will be deaf in 10 years time let alone the innocent people in cars around them who are subjected to the noise at intersections and homes nearby. I hope all their stores go out of business but I do hope those who are "good" at customer service find jobs elsewhere!

The US may not have any jobs but I bet a US dollar that China sure has all its people employed. Some day maybe the US will wake up and smell the coffee(that is if it isn't being produced elsewhere)and then realize that giving away all of America's resources to other countries for the sake of cheaper labor has left the US penniless and its people in "third world" status.

Jeanne, I think you got this one wrong. I am all for people of other origins holding on to their birth culture but if they choose to live in a country that speaks another language than their native tongue then they should be required to at least learn that language if only at a basic level. Learning the language of one's chosen country doesn't mean that they have to give up their heritage, it means they can speak to be understood. For all sorts of reasons they need to be able to communicate. One example which will be forever in my mind is an incident that I witnessed back in Australia. A little child was playing along the sidewalk outside the mall while her mother chatted to a group of friends, the child wandered onto the road and into the path of an oncoming delivery truck, myself and others were shouting for her to "stop" but she just kept on walking, the delivery driver couldn't stop in time. She died. The mother screamed at everyone that she(the child) couldn't speak nor understand English!!! She wondered why someone didn't grab the child out of the way. We didn't have time and our question was why didn't the Asian mother, first of all teach her small child a few important words of English and secondly, why didn't she watch what the child was doing. No amount of blame would bring that child back, being able to understand a few words of English would have. As another poster commented there is a need to speak the language of the country you reside in. I am sorry it is such a hot issue for you but there are good reasons for it maybe some people and places go to extremes to enforce the reasons.

Treasure those memories Salley, all too soon our elderly are taken from us. It is such a rich and rewarding experience to just spend a little time with older people. All too often younger people of today don't seem to have the same reverence for the sage wisdom that comes from these older treasures.

I mistakingly used the wrong word to convey the word "complain". I will now attempt to get my point across without said adjective. What I said was: The money used to pay for the lawsuits between CW and JP could have been used to pay for some on these projects. Perhaps the whole council should have been replaced and a new government formed that enjoyed the trust of the people. I am sure there are many people in Anderson who are tired of the same old same old and they want to see their hard earned dollars going to something besides a continuous slinging match between the county administrator and council members who don't agree with the way he does the job. To those of you who would have been offended by the said adjective used to convey the word "complain" I do apologize.
