Page 11 letters readers write in Praise of honest men it s wonderful to have a positive rewarding experience any time of he year but somehow during the Christmas holidays it magnifies itself and Means so much More to the human spirit. This Christmas Nur family decided to Lake in adventure in search of Sun and Blue skies. We arrived in Izmir Turkey and discovered a lot More than just Beautiful weather. On new year s eve 1 lost my Wallet. In that Wallet was Over j350, plus All my identification. We frantically looked everywhere we could think of bul with no Success As a last ditch Effort we called the base Security police although in our hearts we were sure it was gone far Good. Instead they quickly informed us that yes they had my Wallet and that there was a lot of Money in in. You see in my hurry to pick up a few things at the Shorette and telling my boys no they could t have this or that i left my Wallet on the Cheek out counter. A Man named Burnt Oguzhan a cashier at the shop Etc found the Wallet and turned it in. Not � Penny was missing we immediately went to thank him and offer him a Cash Reward. He explained very politely that he was Only doing his Job and would t accept any Money we went to the manager and asked if he would accept some Money and do something for All the employees. He also declined and said our thank you was More than enough. Their honesty and kindness to us seems almost typical of the turkish people. Not Only is their coun try a great place to visit but the people themselves Are a pure Joy. Thank you again or. Oguzhan for a very Memora ble trip. Ots Llna Cirr Bonn after Reading the letter thanking honest men in a recent letters Section 1 Muu Airai Tell the writer As i m sure he or she knows How Lucky they arc i lost my Wallet once and never saw it again. It was not the monetary loss that bothered me As much As the hassle of replacing All the personal effects like id card Driver s License Etc the real reason for writing this Teller is to express my Hope that someone in these Soldier Chain of command noticed the letter and submitted them for recognition through the military award program. Sol Diers like these deserve All the recognition they can gel because they possess the ability to confront a situation and always do the right thing. Ethics and morality Are not just the wave of the future bul arc required of us All now not just As soldiers bul As americans. An act such As this should be highlighted to show those who have doubts or continue to be dishonest that there Are advantages to living up to the professional army ethic and that honesty is still the Best policy.
