Military to thank for our freedom, lives

I felt I had to respond to the persons letter on Army recruiters at the Northwest Washington Fair.

The last time I checked, Washington state was part of the United States, the land of the free.

Without the Army and our military, which includes the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard, we would not be the land of the "free" we are.

Without question we owe our military 100 percent for our way of life. My family and friends are very pleased with the fair and encourage all to attend. Please call or write the Northwest Washington Fair Association president Curly Hoksberger and 11 board members and tell them to keep up the good work.

I have the highest respect for all of our armed forces and I am a former Marine and Vietnam vet. I take my hat off to all of our service people around the world.
