LETTER TO THE EDITOR

September 15, 2004 The Waynedale News Staff 1 min read

The attached photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq. They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they’re there and that they remember those who’ve been lost.

Message from Iraq

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is by taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was anyway to get this into your paper to let the world know that “WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN” and are proud to serve our country.”

‘Dead of Winter’ & ‘Blue Moon’ Offer Compelling Character Studies | At The Movies With Kasey
As cold as this winter has been for much of the country, watching a film called Dead of Winter might not be on the top of your agenda. But the film, which landed on HBO recently, offers decent suspense and a solid performance from Emma Thompson. Just put on some thick socks before you press ...
The Beginning Of St. Therese Church In Waynedale
February is notable for various cultural celebrations and historical observances. But since the Waynedale Community is celebrating its 105th Anniversary, I decided to trace the origins of St. Therese, Church of the Little Flower, in Waynedale. The local Catholic community began in 1937 when Bishop John F. Noll purchased a wooded plot of ground in the ...
I Give Amanda Seyfried Best Actress For The ‘Testament of Ann Lee’: At The Movies With Kasey
With awards season underway, I have been closely watching who wins in the Best Actress categories. I have seen many outstanding performances this year, but have been surprised by some of the nominations and some of the “snubs.” To start, Rose Byrne won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for If ...
‘The Rip’ & ‘Bugonia’ Showcase Skilled Collaborators: At The Movies With Kasey
Sometimes, if the movie you really want to see (for example, The Testament of Ann Lee) is still in limited release, you have to settle for a new action movie on Netflix. The Rip caught my attention because it is the first in the genre costarring besties and frequent collaborators Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The ...
The Mail Must Go Through!
The above phrase is rooted in the dedication of postal carriers, popularized by an 1885 poem by Joaquin Miller about the challenging Pony Express, and later adopted as an unofficial United States Postal Service motto. I decided to write about “National Thank Your Mailman Day” observed on Feb. 4. But you can observe the occasion on ...
