This is in response to the letter from Robert Macdonald. (Dec. 4)

Larry Gilbert is a Vietnam veteran. He honors veterans for Memorial Day and Veterans Day by attending cemetery memorial services, and also visits residents at Togus Veterans Hospital.

It is a shame that Macdonald did not check the reason for Gilbert’s absence from prior services Macdonald attended. It would have prevented his pointing a finger unfairly at Gilbert, who is a caring person.
