A Veteran Awaits His Due



I have an op-ed in the Boston Herald today. It concerns my step-father, Bill MacDonald, a World War II vet, and a medal he is due but has yet to receive from the government.

As always, I ask you this favor: If you like the piece, please leave a comment on the newspaper's website. I know it can be a slight hassle to do so, but it means a lot to me if you do. I think it may mean a lot to My Mom and Bill, also. And if I can return the favor someday, all you need do is ask.

Thanks.

A great article, very well written. I just hope they get their act together and give him his award ASAP! That's just awful.

Done, and i hope it both helps your stepfather get his medal, and you get more paid writing.
