Letter: Appeal to the young

Editor, Daily News:

An appeal to our younger generation: Our armed services have many of our boys and girls who are leaders. They are fighting and some are dying. We need you, who are here at home, to protect this great country of ours from more despair.

Your parents and grandparents saw the Great Depression, worked together through wars and did all they could to make it better for you. Now it is pay-back time.

We need your leadership. Work to get the smut out of our lives; combat the drugs that are killing the minds of your friends and families. It really is up to you to bring back the integrity and grace this country is losing. Back up our boys and girls who are fighting to protect everything we have earned.

Any of you young people can show leadership. You are definitely our future leaders. We are depending on you to assure us that we don't have to be afraid for your future. Thank you.
