They Write Letters

Change of plans
My family was planning a vacation in California this month. We have decided instead to spend the week in Arizona: visit friends in Yuma, sight-see around Tucson and see the Grand Canyon.

We support Arizona’s wise and necessary new immigration legislation. The United States was founded on the principle of law, not the whim of power-seeking politicians or mob whining.

Meaning of the flag
Regarding Phil Dirkx’s column, “Honor what the flag represents” (June 11):
Because our president spent his early school years in Indonesia, it’s possible he does not understand the meaning of the flag to many Americans. This may be why he sometimes does not salute the American flag. Or perhaps he’s a Jehovah’s Witness?
