5-year-old offers sage advice to troops  Fairgoers are invited
to write personal messages on aprons for our overseas troops at
one of the county fair booths. Most write such things as “Good
luck,” “God bless you,” “Thank you for your service,” and so on.
The other day, Mary Humphrey, who volunteers at the Republican
Women Federated booth, noticed a small boy observing. His arms
were crossed, his brow was furrowed and he wore a look of
determination. So Mary beckoned him over to write something.  He
did. After the boy walked away, she read his message and was
both touched and amused. He had printed: “Don’t forget to duck,”
signed “Charlie,” with a backward age 5.  Meanwhile, Temecula’s
City Council has found a helpful way to honor our war heroes.
It’s offering businesses parking signs that say: “Reserved
Combat Wounded.”
