Victory Parades

Operation Desert Storm has become Operation Overkill. Enough parades (Part A, June 9, June 11) have been held and money spent to finance three wars! More than 65,000 of our citizens are still serving in the Mideast. With our educational, health and human services in a deplorable state, I think it is high time that our government begins to seriously address these problems. For too many deprived people, the “parade has already passed them by.”
