OUR OPINION Do right by McCray, all veterans hatever the reason, little remains of the memory of Private First Class W Eugene McCray, a Lake City man who lay down his life for his country on April 6, 1967, somewhere in Vietnam. The exact location isn’t known, though his body was recovered, as noted in a front page story on Tuesday. PFC McCray’s life — all 20 years of it — is as much a mystery as his death. No one can find even a photograph to ensure his likeness will live on. It is tragic and frustrating. And it makes you think. PFC McCray may be beyond our help, but what about the veterans still among us, some of whom struggle, silently, in ways the rest of us cannot comprehend? And why, at the national level, do terrible problems persist with veterans’ care? Animal rights activists glibly quote Gandhi, who said a nation’s greatness can be judged by the way it treats its animals. We love animals too, but that pithy little bon mot makes our blood boil. Guilty even if proved innocent Substitute “veterans” for “animals” and then t’s inane, it’s egregious and McCabe, meanwhile, is said we’ll talk. it’s another spurious step in to have had a conflict of interest If you can’t take care of the people who took Ijustifying the impeachment of thanks to his wife being a politician care of you, what kind of culture do you have, President Donald Trump, all this who got donations from a Clinton anyway? talk about how he forced the firing ally.
