Hello Westfield, especially, Ward 3…GOOD NEWS…Rep. Velis has contacted me regarding my proposal to have a Day of Remembrance for American POWs. He will be speaking with one of his another House member, and friend of mine on Thursday.
HELP AND 2 FAVORS, PLEASE… if you support this proposal, one that I fully believe most of us, regardless of our other beliefs, can agree upon. What a start to the New Year, a subject and an act that we CAN agree upon and support. All things considered, with what is going on in OUR American society; why not find a common cause for all of us to support. To prove to ourselves, and each of us we do not have to sarcastic, and hateful, but as Americans we do have some common values??? And, John McCain as someone many if not most Americans can respect, thus to use the day he was freed from being a POW to commemorate POW’s. This will not cost us much, just the price of printing. It is not offensive as it picks someone known to us without the conflict of finding another person to name it after; for I am sure there are those amongst us who know of others who went through that ordeal.
If you do support the idea of making March 14th a Day of Remembrance for John McCain and all American POWs; the 2 favors are 1. Contact Rep. John Velis, at [email protected]. And, let him know that Americans who were POWs are important to us. And, that he should support this legislation. And, while you are at it include our Senator Don Humason: 64 Noble Street Westfield, MA 01085 [email protected]
And, lastly access your social networks, whether on line or in person, and ask them to do likewise. And for any and all outside of Westfield too. This is starting as a Westfield/Western Ma, thing, but it is also an all Massachusetts thing too. Take a few minutes, maybe even an hour out of your week to do something that says, as an American this is IMPORTANT!
Your former Ward 3 City Councilor, Brian Hoose …[email protected].
