Dear Editor, This past August makes three years since I retired and moved here to Madison County, Texas. I didn’t move here because of the Madisonville ISD ratings or employment. The main reason was for the family and friends I have here. I enjoy reading the Madisonville Meteor newspaper weekly. I would like to point out that at the top right-hand corner of the front page, under the Madisonville Meteor, it says “Thank a Veteran and Serviceman Every Day.” I am a proud Air Force veteran and usually wear something that states that fact. The point of this article is that the three years living here, and going about my daily life, I cannot count on one hand the number people who have thanked me for my service to this great country. This makes me wonder how many veterans in this community are not recognized for their military contributions. If you didn’t serve, it doesn’t mean anything to you. But to those of us who did, a simple thank you means a great deal. Just something to consider, especially since it is on the front page of the paper, every week.

LEAD STORY OVERSTIMULATED A family is seeking to press charges against an unnamed man who was briefly married to their mdesign -- and now, Indy100 reported, for being identified as a sign of the devil. A Facebook page called Prophecy News warned followers on Sept.

I love social media. They keep me in touch with dozens of friends, whom I might otherwise have contact with just every few years, or every few decades.

LEAD STORY -- HOLDING A GRUDGE! A family is seeking to press charges against an unnamed man who was briefly married to their mom in the 1970s, the New York Post reported. Their beef? Allegedly, the New Jersey man arrives at Linda Torello’s tombstone in Orangetown, New York, early almost every morning with his current wife in tow, where he urinates on her grave and sometimes leaves a bag of excrement.

LEAD STORY -- AWESOME! Adele Hankey of Park River, North Dakota, was born on April 21, 1926. As such, she shared her birthday with Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away two weeks ago.
