It
is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we are a
changed nation. Individually, our daily sensitivity toward
whom and what we have in our lives has been
heightened. We are more conscious and appreciative, first
about those we love and see every day. Next, we have a
newfound appreciation for those who risk their lives every day
as rescue workers and protectors of life and property in our
communities. We also now think more about our military men and
women who are committed to serve and protect our country. Many
are away engaged in battle, some are in waiting to go, all are
ready to lay their lives on the line in defense of our
freedom.
Friends
and relatives serving in the armed forces are listed here so we might all hold them in our thoughts, prayers and well
wishes. If you know of other friends and relatives serving (they
need not be from Logan County),
please send the information to ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com. Along with the name, you are invited to include the branch of
service, current location of service, postal address, e-mail
address and relationship to the person providing the information (optional).
