To the Editor,

Thank you for your cover- age of the "One of a Kind" Fourth of July, vets and flags observance, in the July 12 is- sue of the Times. It was com- posed of long-time friends and neighbors joined together to celebrate the day. It wasn't a commercial event, or a political one. It was just pure American. It wasn't the Rose Parade - but the colors were bright.
