Thank you so much for your well-written editorial Sunday entitled, “An inglorious end to America’s longest war.” It was very informative and presented many facts that I haven’t even seen anywhere else.

As the mom of a service member and a strong believer in the principles and values that our country has upheld throughout our existence, I am absolutely brokenhearted to have our countrymen and so many others deliberately put in harm’s way by leaders whom we should all be able to trust.
