Veterans groups work as a team

To the editor:

I want to thank the Southeast Missourian for front-page coverage of Mary Reynold's plight related to seeing her son, Marine Lance Cpl. Charles Bigham. However, the focus at the end should have been on the efforts of Marine Corps League Detachment 1081 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3838 and their senior officers, Commandant Richard Bollwerk and Commander Roger Brown respectively. Families in our area should know that these organizations and the veterans associated with them will help in a time of crises. We act as a team.
