Editor,
In regard to Cali Garcia's letter in Monday's newspaper about politically
incorrect holidays: I think this is one of the most foolish, insensitive letters I've ever read in the Daily Lobo. He must hate freedom because of his strong opposition to celebrating Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
What's so politically incorrect about an annual observance of all the brave
people who bought our freedom with their blood in warfare? Furthermore, Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't just a minister - he was also an influential civil rights leader who received the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35. What's wrong with observing his accomplishments? In conclusion, Garcia's remarks about these holidays reflect a deep ingratitude toward the accomplishments of Martin Luther King Jr. and all the troops who sacrificed their lives throughout the decades on the battlefield.
