Twilley receives national award

La Monte American Legion Auxiliary 520 was notified that their essay entrant Col. Gloria J. Twilley won the national American Legion Auxiliary Award for her essay.

She wrote about why it is important to her to serve her country. Col. Twilley, past commander of the 509th Medical Group at Whiteman Air Force Base, was presented with the 2007-2008 Active Duty Service Woman Award at the national convention in Phoenix.

Col. Twilley has served in the Air Force for 26 years and is stationed at Bolling Air Force Base in Maryland. She started her military medic career in February 1982 as a first lieutenant critical care nurse.

“I would not trade my nursing profession for any other — even with situations seem their bleakest and I feel the same way about serving my country. I would not trade this experience for any other career choice. It facilitates care, compassion and hope in moments of utmost despair,” she wrote.

Opinion
Smoking paraphernalia
What is your opinion on the law prohibiting the sale of drug paraphernalia, including small water pipes or glass pipes?
Because the majority of these items are sold for smoking illegal substances, the law should ban them all.
The law that prohibits the sale of these items if the seller knows they will be used for drugs is too vague and should be repealed.
People should be able to buy whatever smoking paraphernalia they wish.
Police officers should find a better way to spend their time than arresting people for violating these types of laws.
The law is the law, and as long as it’s on the books, police officers should enforce it.
