The
Monticello Express Editorial
Throughout the month of May, there will be two dates in honor of the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces and the subsequent peace they achieved because of their commitment: Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day. We at the Express are proud of our military veterans who make up 15 percent of Jones County. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have served the United States through the Army, Air Force, Marine and Navel Forces; no matter what time period and how popular the war. The freedoms of this publication and the employees who work diligently to provide Monticello the week’s news are as the result of your sacrifice to maintain the vision of our four fathers. A simple act of gratitude, ranging from a saying thank you to shaking a veteran’s hand is the least we can do. Their service to the nation is their reward to us every second of every day. The American way of life is as sacred as those who protect it, so, be sure to thank your local veterans this month for ensuring our future. (S.A.L.)
