This is in response to Dick Meck's letter ["Hypocrisy brigade now fights at Wilderness," Oct. 30].
For someone who has served his country in the military for 24 years, and who purports to be "very sensitive to the courage and sacrifice that were required during those horrific times," I find his diatribe against the Fawn Lake community disguised in the form of fealty to the Wilderness battlefield to be not only in bad taste but also disingenuous. I live in the community and find it to be I, like the rest of my neighbors, will acknowledge our mere mortality, but we also realize that one of the reasons we served was to preserve the right to live where we wanted to, and to provide a better quality of life for our families. I honor and thank Mr. Meck for his service. Perhaps a switch to decaf before he writes again would be appropriate. Jim O'Donnell Spotsylvania
I think is wrong that they took a park road and made it into the main way into fawn lake.And then us low class people for years had to go in the back way on a muddy road..But they did fix it after years.But we still have to go out of our way to get into fawn lake us low class self's
And then if you come out of the wilderness battle field
your going at O such a great brick front gate of fawn lake.Whats the differance in that and a wallmart that is out of the way.
Folks are seeming to forget that a large portion of the battlefield was saved when Fawn Lake was approved.
And again i say that there was never a diatribe against FL but a simple comparison. Comparing the loss of battlefield to the development of FL to the SAME loss of battlefield for a wally world.. the letter simply pointed out the hypocracy of it all. Seems the Fawn lake people are just a bit sensitive??
can we Jim? Forget his military service and focus on what was actually said about Fawn Lake, it's the truth. NTS had to get special permission to put the front gate in from the Park Service with the agreement that no commercial vehicles(vehicles with company logos and large trucks) are to use that entrance. It was and still is a-ok to build million dollar homes and expand the community to this day just feet from sacred land but it's not ok to build a Wal-Mart a quarter mile away from the same sacred land.
