Dear Chronicle:

This letter of appreciation is extended to Richard Dubious, vice commander of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter #32. I want to express my gratitude to you for your time, compassion and the use of the DAV facility Oct. 8, 2009. Without hesitation, you were there to lend a hand for the Stone family's reception that followed the funeral of their son, Nathen Stone.

Thank you for your kindness and consideration for them and for everything that you do for the veterans and our community.

Mark A. Daniels

Veterans Service Officer

Cumberland County

Dear Chronicle:

The voices of debate continue. The deafening voice of the insurance lobby cites the planned talking points guaranteed to defeat health care reform: scare tactics such as government takeover, no choice in the health benefits you receive, death panels, and free health insurance for illegal immigrants, etc. Many politicians parrot all the above propaganda which makes one believe their loyalties lie with the insurance companies rather than those who elected them.

Recently I was in a doctor’s office when I heard a patient tell the receptionist that he did not have a stress test because his insurance company refused to pay for it. His was the voice of the victimized, the voice of the underinsured and uninsured.

I am blessed. I have Medicare as well as good Medigap insurance. And I ask myself why I should be more privileged than others. It is not because I have worked any harder and it is certainly not because I am more deserving. And the voice of my conscience tells me that in this great country all of our citizens should have affordable and quality health care.

Our president recently told the joint session of Congress that health care reform is the moral thing to do. He said it reflects the character of our country. His is the voice of reason.

ENJOYING NATURE: How ‘fur’ would you go to get a great coat?
I saw in one of the magazines, that I sometimes read, that the Tennessee Fur Harvesters Association was having a fur sale in Crossville. “Fur harvesters” is another word for trappers. Trappers try to catch fur bearing animals like coyote, mink, and beaver for fun and profit. I talked Gary into going with me to see what we could learn.
