As a former member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW Post 9150 here in Lewiston, I couldn’t agree more with Kathleen Case Keene and her letter “Muhammad Ali statue is being disrespectfully placed,” published Jan. 18.

The site chosen for this statue shows very poor thought and planning by someone.

What a punch in the gut to all our veterans.

I ask that whoever makes the final decision on placement of this statue, please reconsider and perhaps think about placing it at the Colisee where the fight actually occurred.
