I MET A FRIEND OVER THE WEEKEND IN THE SUPERMARKET. IT HAS BEEN A HARD HOLIDAY
FOR HER AND HER CHILDREN BECAUSE HER HUSBAND WAS CALLED UP TO ACTIVE DUTY AND
IS NOW OVERSEAS IN A ``COMBAT ZONE.'' AS I THINK ABOUT THEIR COMMITMENT AND
SACRIFICE TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS AND WAY OF LIFE, I WONDER HOW I CAN DO MY
PART TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS AND WAY OF LIFE. ONE WAY IS TO TRY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS THE BEST THAT IT CAN BE AND THAT WE AS A
SOCIETY ARE LIVING UP TO THE PROMISES THAT WE HAVE MADE TO EACH OTHER AS
AMERICANS. I AM TROUBLED BY ONE UNMET PROMISE IN PARTICULAR, THE PROMISE TO
PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE EDUCATION TO EVERY CHILD. THE QUALITY AND FUNDING OF
PUBLIC EDUCATION WAS A BIG ISSUE IN THE ELECTION LAST FALL. IT SEEMS THAT WE
DON'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA OF ENSURING THAT EVERY CHILD,
REGARDLESS OF GEOGRAPHY OR ECONOMIC STATUS, GETS A GOOD EDUCATION. AS SOME OF
US ARE CALLED UPON TO PROTECT OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE WITH FORCE OF ARMS, IT
IS UP TO THE REST OF US TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE LIVES UP TO
ITS PROMISE HERE AT HOME. RICHARD M. SUTPNIN EXETER <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
