Comment:

The Greenwich Time should help pubicize this event and let the Citizens Of Greenwich say THANK YOU to our troops and their families who have placed their country before themselves.

What ever the outcome of these oversea adventures these young men and women have served our country.

Whether or not Greenwich Time editors and reporters support the war, they should always support the troops. It was not their decision to place themselves in harm's way to protect our freedoms.

We say shame, shame shame on Hearst Media and the Greenwich Time for ignoring the noble efforts of those who are volunteering up on King Street to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

At least the other Hearst Media newspaper in Greenwich has an excuse, because they have not updated their web site for seven days. The Greenwich Citizen website is still leading with this nine day old story.....

Himes Landslide Winner in Primary

NORWALK - "I enlisted in the Navy in 1945 because I believed in this country. I want to do the same today.

Hamden resident Len Zimmerman's words at the Black Bear Saloon were an echo Tuesday night of the change area residents are craving and that they believe 4th District Democratic candidate Jim Himes can bring about in Congress if he's elected in November.....

Sadly, the Greenwich Post website, that publishes more press releases word for word than any other Greenwich media outlet has also chose to ignore the Greenwich one-mile run/walk dedicated to soldiers who have died on battlefield far away from those they love and serve.

It is not that Greenwich residents don't want to honor the fallen troops, it's just that their three local newspapers don't make them aware of opportunities to do so.

It will be interesting to see if any politicians show up to honor our fallen troops since the local media cameras have for some reason chosen to ignore the cross-country run conducted by Run for the Fallen.

Enough Is Enough

The local media has ignored the residents of Greenwich for far too long.

Perhaps it is time that local bloggers, citizen journalists, fired news reporters, photographers and other interested parties to banded together to form a Greenwich News Portal that would centralize link and feature these creative efforts with such features like a public message board.

As Bill Clarke at Greenwich Gossip has taught us all...

Why waste your lime witting a letter to the local and having it reject it, when you can start your own blog and freely express your views?
