I am writing about the well-meaning L&A Veterans Council’s suggestion to add yet another surplus vehicle (a tank) to the Veterans Memorial Park (“Veterans Council wants to add tank to Lewiston park,” March 15).

As a 32-year Army veteran who rose up the ranks from private to retire as a major, I am 100% pro-military.

But let’s be realistic. I believe the jet and a jeep is enough. Instead, let’s add benches, picnic tables, trees and flowers.

If people keep adding additional vehicles in that limited space it will look like a military junkyard. Do people really want that . . . seriously?
