Suggestion: Create a Wall of Justice

To the editor:

The naming of the new federal courthouse is an ongoing heated topic. What is the proper name to be etched into stone on the building, which will be paid for by taxpayers?

To keep the public happy and proud, I suggest that a Wall of Justice be erected where family and friends could put the names of their friends or loved ones who have been connected with upholding the laws of the land.

Names like state Sen. John Dennis, state Sen. Albert Spradling Jr., along with lawyers like Limbaugh, Russell, Cook and Lowes, plus former police chief Percy Little and Gov. Warren Hearnes and our police officers come to mind.

Leave it up to the public to pay to have their special person, living or dead, put on this wall.

Make Cape Girardeau and all local Missourians proud of its past, present and future history of law enforcement. Isn't that what it's all about?

JUDITH A WEBER, Cape Girardeau
