Open letter to Pres. Obama

Dear President-elect Obama: We're sure you have received many 'first things' suggestions and we want to add our requests for your consideration.

Immediately when you take office please remove the order that keeps us from honoring our war dead as they come home. These are our children, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and cousins, and we must be allowed to view their coffins. Shame on us for letting this dishonor continue.

An easy task would be for you to order solar panels to be placed, once again, on the White House roof. Reagan's removing the panels shortly after he took office sent a clear signal that he was not for alternative energy. Putting them back will be a clear signal that you are.

We are so delighted with your election and send our best wishes for your two four-year terms.
