I am very
proud of the voters, taxpayers and Military Veterans in Stratham for fighting
back against a very poor and disrespectful decision, by their Board of Selectmen,
to not allow the MIA/POW Flag to be flown at Veterans Park in the Stratham Hill
Park.
The citizen petitions, and they’re several
being circulated, have been garnering names and disbelief as to why they can’t
pay respect to those who have died and unable to be recovered. Now it just seems to be a battle of wills
from the Selectmen against the voters and taxpayers of Stratham. The big question is, are there enough signers
and voters to start replacing the Selectmen?
Elected Officials very rarely win a battle with the voters in the long
run. Will this be the second loss for
the selectmen, the first being the water vote and now this?
It is also
very disappointing to see the local newspaper not getting a real feeling for
what is going on and the issues being fought over. The Seacoast Newspapers have been having a
problem with readership and will probably lose more over missing the meaning of
this issue.
PETER WIGGIN
has done a remarkable job of communicating this issue, and has shown the love
and respect the WIGGINS, the first family of Stratham, have for doing the right
thing, and the wonderful people of Stratham have heard the message. It is not
just the veterans fighting for this, it is the wives, husbands, sons,
daughters, grand children and grand parents signing these petitions they are
carrying the fight. There is a very
large, but, quiet veteran’s population in Stratham each with untold stories and
missing friends who, are supporting this effort
STRATHAM
KEEP UP THE FIGHT YOU ARE TAKING BACK YOUR TOWN!!!
