I do not believe any member of the military, including the 7th Calvary, went to Korea with the intent of deliberately killing Korean civilians. Now, however, U.S. government officials are ludicrously considering compensation to South Korea for its loss of civilian life. All Americans opposed to providing compensation to South Korea should write to their federally elected officials. Francis T. Lynch, Oneonta Blood donations vital at holidays One of the best Christmas gifts one can give is the gift of self. Red blood cells help those afflicted with anemia.
White cells fight infection.
Platelets help speed clotting time, and platelets help fight shock. Other products made from blood can be used to help patients fight cancer, leukemia, hemophilia and a score of other diseases and conditions. On behalf of all these people, we at the Delaware County Chapter, American Red Cross, would like to thank those who came out at this busy time to remember the true spirit of Christmas. For those who keep track of such things, this was 107 percent of goal. Celin Schoen, Hobart Schoen is executive director of the American Red Cross, Delaware County Chapter.
