Letter writers got it right

To the editor:

Triple kudos to Jodi Thompson for her letter, "All this, but no praying at school." She has it right.

I'm not a teacher. The nearest kin are two nieces who are teachers, one in O'Fallon, Ill., and the other in Doniphan, Mo.

The niece in O'Fallon experienced a nervous breakdown because of the stress from trying to teach high school juniors. When I asked her how she taught, her reply was, "Not very well."

Also triple kudos to John Helderman's letter regarding President Truman's bold decision to end World War II. They whose hearts bleed so excessively for the poor victims of the bomb need to study the history of Japanese cruelty and atrocities.

I too am a World War II veteran. We were on Guam wondering what was in our future. Thank you, President Truman.
