The Faux News Wanabe's Of Lower Fairfield County Have Once Again Failed To Editorially Honor The Brave Men And Women Who Have Paid The Ultimate SacrificeThe Disrespectful Hearst Newspaper Editors At The Greenwich Time Can't Take A Minute Online To Honor Those That Have Put Themselves In Harms In Order To Defend Our Rights To A Free Press.
In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said people can honor veterans by sending a letter or care package to troops overseas, volunteering at health clinics or taking supplies to a homeless veterans center. He said it could also mean something as simple as saying "thank you" to a veteran walking by on the street.
The Greenwich Time editors have a responsibility to serve all of Greenwich vets as well as they serve all of us.
Where were the Greenwich Time editors when the Town of Greenwich was violating the federal rights of vets in the Greenwich Police Department?
All too often in recent years and decades the Greenwich Time Editors have failed to live up to their responsibility. Every veteran's and Memorial day they have failed to give them the editorial support they need.
That is a betrayal of the sacred trust that the Greenwich Time should have with all who wear and all who have worn the proud uniform of our country.
When was the last time the Greenwich Time editors opined that we as a nation should be committed to making certain the Veterans Affairs Department had the money it needed.
That is what Memorial Day is all about.
As President Obama said,"It is about doing all we can to repay the debt we owe to those men and women who have answered our nation's call by fighting under its flag. It is about recognizing that we, as a people, did not get here by accident or good fortune alone.'
Everyday in America brave young men and women in America take the U.S. Armed Forces Oath of Enlistment.
Federal law requires everyone who enlists or re-enlists in the Armed Forces of the United States to take the enlistment oath. The oath of enlistment into the United States Armed Forces is administered by any commissioned officer to any person enlisting or re-enlisting for a term of service into any branch of the military. The officer asks the person, or persons, to raise their right hand and repeat the oath after him. The oath is traditionally performed in front of the United States Flag.
These patriots recite the following.....
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

Greenwich Time Editorials:
Just a bit more advice for graduates
Somehow it's happened again. Another graduation season is passing us by, and no requests to impart our hard-earned wisdom to the fresh young faces at a local graduation ceremony.
Townspeople should have their say
Planning to solicit townspeople's opinions before laying off any more municipal workers, should that become necessary, is an intelligent move by First Selectman Peter Tesei.
Keep alcohol out of graduation parties
Ah, Graduation Day. Without question, it's a time for celebration. A celebration can turn sour pretty quickly, though, when underage drinking is involved.
Shame, Shame, Shame

Freedom Lost Will Be The Right To A Free Press
Here Is A History Lesson For The Clueless Greenwich Time Editors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freedom of the press in the United States is granted by the United States Constitution.
Freedom of the press in the United States is granted by the United States Constitution.
John Hancock was the first person to write newspapers in the British colonies in North America published "by authority," that is, under license from and as the mouthpiece of the colonial governors.
The first regularly published newspaper was the Boston News-Letter of John Campbell, published weekly beginning in 1704. The early colonial publishers were either postmasters or government printers, and therefore unlikely to challenge government policies.
The first independent newspaper in the colonies was the New-England Courant, published in Boston by James Franklin beginning in 1721. A few years later, Franklin's younger brother, Benjamin, purchased the Pennsylvania Gazette of Philadelphia, which became the leading newspaper of the colonial era.
During this period, newspapers were unlicensed, and able freely to publish dissenting views, but were subject to prosecution for libel or even sedition if their opinions threatened the government. The notion of "freedom of the press" that later was enshrined in the United States Constitution is generally traced to the seditious libel prosecution of John Peter Zenger by the colonial governor of New York in 1735. In this instance of jury nullification, Zenger was acquitted after his lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, argued to the jury (contrary to established English law) that there was no libel in publishing the truth. Yet even after this celebrated case, colonial governors and assemblies asserted the power to prosecute and even imprison printers for publishing unapproved views.
During the American Revolution, a free press was identified by Revolutionary leaders as one of the elements of liberty that they sought to preserve.
The Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776) proclaimed that "the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments."
Similarly, the Constitution of Massachusetts (1780) declared, "The liberty of the press is essential to the security of freedom in a state: it ought not, therefore, to be restrained in this commonwealth."
Following these examples, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution restricted Congress from abridging the freedom of the press and the closely associated freedom of speech.
