For the first time in... awhile I get to post something! Now, what should I post?
How about I post an essay that I have written. Tell me what you think.
Dear Editor,
I am absolutely disgusted at the December 5 editorial which stated that there are no military heroes. What an unpatriotic thing to say! U.S. Soldiers are daily putting their lives on the line to defend our country and we thank them by saying “there are no military heroes”?? That sickens me!
And saying that our military personnel are trained “shoddily” is a direct insult to all of our armed forces. I personally know three marines and I can assure you, they are not trained “shoddily.”
Also, before being too quick in saying that we are the aggressor in this war, remember September 11 (an event to which we all said “we will never forget”), and remember also, the U.S.S. Cole. We are not the aggressor.
One more thing, liberating millions of people from the grasp of a ruthless mass murderer is not what I call “morally wrong.” I honestly can’t understand why some people insist on lowering our troop’s morale.
Remember, greater love has no man than he who lays down his life for his friend.
Sincerely,
Josiah Teal
That one actually got published in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle on Dec. 18, 2005. I was so pleased (although it did get edited by the editor).

Congrats! And nicely done!!
Why thank you kindly misses shelly! Yes it was quite a difficult thing to do accomplish but me and my genius self rose to the challenge and defeated the forces of evil!! Okay, so maybe that's a little far fetched.
Oh dear, I wrote "to do accomplish" now that was silly of me!
So, what exactly did the dear editor edit?
The dear editor edited... a little bit-I have the final edition here at my lovely home.
Let me read it sometime.. please
Wow! I didn't know I had a published nephew again! I thought it was very well put! I'm sorry I don't get the D&C.
