Demo Panel To Meet
The Brunswick County Democra
tic Party's building committee will
meet Saturday, Feb. 9, at 10 a.m., at
the party headquarters building in
Supply.
Chairman Glen Peterson said the
purpose of the meeting is to update
committee members on the status of
the building project and to make
plans for future work at the site.
He said all interested Democrats
arc encouraged to attend and share
their ideas with the committee.
Writing Letters Supports Troops
"Write them letters."
Those four syllables sum up the
advice of former active duty mili
tary personnel on ways to support
military personnel serving in the
Middle East.
Speaking at a rally for the troops
organized by Brunswick Community
College students. Col. William Cock
rell, commander of the U.S. Army
JROTC program at West Brunswick
High School, advised, "My main
suggestion is to keep in contact."
Many of the 50 or 60 men and
women in the audience last Thurs
day night have family members or
friends seiving in the Middle East.
At this stage of the war "keeping
in contact" that means letters more
than "care" packages, he and others
noted, because other needs have
higher priority: transportation of
men, ammunition, food and then
mail. Some military personnel are
also in areas where telephones is
not readily available to them.
Churches, school groups and in
dividuals continue to write letters to
specific individuals or to "any ser
viceman," mail that is routed to sol
diers who arc not receiving much
mail.
"One of the hardest things is to
be sitting out there in the desert or
on a ship and not have any mail,"
said Brunswick County Veterans
Service Officer Jess Parker.
Groups or individuals who wish
to write service men and women
overseas can obtain names of local
residents serving in the war from
Parker's Cockrcll's office or from
the Brunswick County Veterans
Service Office at the county govern
ment center in Bolivia.
Parker also noted support efforts
by local churches for service per
sonnel and family members who are
stateside ? prayer meetings, prayer
lists, support groups. He urged indi
viduals to take time to listen to,
comfort and encourage neighbors
and friends in that situation.
Many of Parker's comments
echoed those of earlier speakers
Sgt. Ray Edwards, a recruiter with
the North Carolina National Guard;
and Sgt. Dexter Hudson, a recruiter
with the U.S. Marine Corps.
He urged listeners, "Don't vent
your personal politics on the street.
During the Vietnam War we almost
deserted an entire generation."
Instead, suggested Sgt. Dexter
Hudson, Write good news."
"I'm sure it's a nightmare for
them, enduring the heat of the
desert by day and the cold by night
and going without freedoms," Hud
son said. "But they are making a
sacrifice to protect our way of life
here in America."
Parker invited local residents
who have a family member serving
in the Middle East and need some
one to talk to do so. "I'm available
any time of day or night to listen
and to help."
