Dear Editor,
To Great Bend Military Moms:
Thanks so much for the great care packages you sent!
My crew of six rifled through the boxes like kindergarteners.
It is obvious that you spent much effort and money in finding items that deployed people need.
Thank you for your time and effort.
We boxed the remaining items and dropped them off at Forward Operating Base Salerno near the Pakistan border.
We assume the FOBs have less than we are blessed with, so it’s our way of spreading Christmas cheer throughout the country.
Cade Keenan,
and crew

Sometimes, when law enforcement agencies announce someone has been arrested or charged with a crime, they mention that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This principle places the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s an important reminder because sometimes a person is arrested but never formally charged or a different charge than originally reported is filed. Other times, the case goes to court and the person is found not guilty. Still other times, the charges are filed but the case never goes to court because the case is dropped.
