Reader's view:So-called moral majority does not have answers
The writer of the June 17 letter, “Nation’s moral compass has gone askew,” seemed to think if you write a lot of letters to the paper you represent the views of the majority. The writer was so wrong. It’s probably the opposite.

Local view: Preserve their legacies by honoring our veteran pilots
My love of all things aviation probably started in the womb. I was born on the Marine base at Camp Pendleton in California, was brought into the world by a Navy lieutenant and grew up with a daily parade of the world’s finest right outside my front door. I was steeped in tales of Jimmy Doolittle Air Raiders, who proved that the impossible was always possible. And it didn’t hurt that superstars like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren were all over television.
