'Honor"
BY KAHN ADAMS
With a wall-sized American flag as
a backdrop, Jess Parker reminded a
room full of local veterans and their
wives Friday that Veterans Day is
for the living.
Parker, who is Brunswick County's
veteran services officer, was the
guest speaker Friday morning at the
annual Veterans Day observance at
the Calabash Veterans of Foreign
Wars Post 7288.
"We honor the ones who have died,
but what about the living?" Parker

New regulations issued by the
Farmers Home Administration offer
the agency a choice of actions to help
FmHA borrowers who are behind in
payments through no fault of their
own, according to Ted C. Rivenbark
Jr., county FmHA supervisor.
The major new option is a debt
write-down feature, possible after all
other options have been tried if it
would cost the government less than
foreclosure.
In that case, FmHA can writeNot

asked the gathering. "What about the
survivors who came back to work in
the shops and fields? Are they any
less heroes?"
Briefly outlining the American
military's roles in conflicts from
World War I to the invasion of
Grenada, Parker emphasized the
heroism of the ordinary soldiers and
sailors?men and women?who
didn't make the headlines at home.
Noting that the common serviceman's
contributions sometimes
are overlooked, he urged, "I call on

what the farmer owes and the value
oi me tanner's loan collateral. In 10
years, the farmer would have to pay
back some of the write-down if the
value of the collateral has appreciated.
But before the write-down option is
considered, Rivenbark said his office
must first check to make sure other
options, such as a conservation easement
or softwood timber program,
have been considered. Other options
include replacing current loans with

Vietnam veterans, in particular
haven't been duly recognized foi
their service, he said, because th<
United States did not win the war ii
Southeast Asia.
However, Parker contended tha
"the American fighting man ha:
never lost a war," referring to Viet

more widespread than during
