DEAR EDITOR:
On the evening of June 7, it was my privilege to serve as one of 12 honor guards standing watch on 20-minute shifts during the visitation of James E. Suever.
Jim was a member of the Delphos VFW Color Guard. He was also a combat veteran of the Vietnam War.
What most people don’t know is that Jim was a hero. He was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor while serving in Vietnam.
I once asked him what he did to receive the award but he just said, “It wasn’t anything.” That’s the way Jim was. He didn’t want to talk about it.
I just thought Delphos should know and be proud of the ones who served their country, not just in Vietnam, but in all wars.

DEAR EDITOR:
The riding season is here and the members of the DO-Right Motorcycle Club would like to remind everyone to ride and drive safely. School is out so everyone please look out for children especially near the city parks and play grounds. Motorcyclists, you should always be aware of the traffic around you and be prepared to brake or maneuver quickly, use your lights and signals and come to full stops. All drivers please keep in mind that the majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by other vehicles either turning left in front of them or quickly turning into their lane.
Look twice save lives!

DEAR EDITOR:
I would like to thank the residents of Delphos who took part in the first “City Pride Day.” The purpose of the Pride Day was to inform and teach the Kiwanis K-kids about the importance of Community Service. The K-kids started with this idea after picking up over 6,000 cigarette butts while walking around Delphos.

DEAR EDITOR:

What a great job our local Kiwanis K-kids Club did June 4 during City Pride Day.

A big thank you to all involved with this all-volunteer project.

Special thanks goes to the group that heeded my call and totally cleaned up the property across the street from our house on East Second Street. What an eyesore that was driving in or out of our city. Can you imagine looking at that mess every day?

I called and the Kiwanis listened. All of you did an amazing job.

I’m proud to know that Delphos has this wonderful volunteer organization known as the Kiwanis.

So let’s give credit where credit is due for a job well done.

Thank you, Kiwanis and K-kids for helping to make Delphos beautiful.

Sincerely grateful citizen,

Cheri Core,

Delphos
