The Delta News*Citizen would like to honor these brave men and women in the July 2 edition with a special "Salute to Soldiers." If you or a loved one has a story that you would like to share, we would like to share it with our readers. Whether it be an email or snail mail sent home from the front lines, a "letter to the editor" format, a short written story describing a soldier's daily life in the war zones or comments from loved ones about their soldier's call to duty, please send it by Friday, June 27, to The Delta News*Citizen, 127 W. Main, Malden, MO 63863 or email: deltanews@dailystatesman.com.
On this Independence Day, 2008, we recall, as in wars past, that"freedom isn't free." It is the hope of this newspaper that these letters/articles will serve as a means to become more aware of and pay tribute to the sacrifices being made by our local military personnel to keep our country safe and free.
