Letter from Ronald E. Bishop

Grateful for Their Service

A lot of people lost their jobs with the federal government over the last couple of weeks. About a third of them were military veterans. Our president called them all “lazy, worthless bureaucrats,” which appears to be his way of saying, “thank you for your service.”

Those of you who applaud these ongoing actions are also casting insults at these people. I am blessed that we have several veterans in my family, and I actually am grateful for their service.
