Advertising just of m for some time now i have been Reading your editorials regarding the War in the persian Gulf. What continually astonishes me is that service members believe they arc a a owed something for their participation in the Gulf crisis a whether it be More combat pay awards or reduced airline fares. This a a what a in it for me a attitude sickens me. In today Sall Volant car military service,1 its a Job like any other. We Are certainly at risk when we perform that Job but no More so than the policeman or woman who works in the inner City of los Angeles or new York. Every Day the paper is tilled with Sto rides about civil servants who Are injured. Or die in the line of duty. Are they offered free trips to Disneyland or reduced airline fares for doing what they get paid to do i joined the service knowing full Well that what i would be doing could place my life in jeopardy. It s a Job t icel comfortable in and i am proud knowing 1 serve my country. Members of my family have fought in every conflict since the civil War of the living members of my family not Otic has expressed that he was owed anything by anybody. Their satisfaction in knowing what they had accomplished was Reward enough 1 went to Southwest Asia with the 3rd army div and am proud of my service Over there. But my greatest Reward was returning Home alive and intact to my family. A capt. .

Lie vetoed Congress family medical leave act which would have allowed workers up to six weeks unpaid leave for family medical circumstances. The United states and South Africa Are the Only two industrialized countries t offer workers any kind of Job Security in the event of the birth or adoption of a child or family illness or death. _ German businesses provide up to 19 weeks of paid leave austrian employers offer 20. A. A. A. Now Bush is once again professing his conviction for the family. One must ask is this merely worthless Campaign prattle to gain re election Well soon find out. Congress is working to reintroduce the family medical leave act this summer. When the measure reaches the presi luvs been infected through.
