Dear Editor:

Mike and I wanted to express our gratitude for the commendable article in the weekend edition of the Sequoyah County Times.  You have honored our son and his friend.

We are extremely proud of them and of all our troops who are willing to place themselves in harm’s way in service to our wonderful country.

We ask that the citizens of Sequoyah County keep them and their compatriots in your prayers.  They truly are our heroes.

MIKE AND CLETA BROWN, SALLISAW


After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
