World War II veteran Garnett Baker, a resident of Old Portland in District Five of Adair County, took his first school bus ride Monday morning, he said.

"From this day forward, when you hear and sing the National Anthem and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, may chills tingle your spine, make a lump in your throat, as you remember those who served." - ROBERT FLOWERS

Those who attended the February 14, 2011, Veterans Appreciation Breakfast and the dedication of the Adair Veterans Memorial Highway will never forget this Valentine's Day.

There was a day with perfect springlike weather after weeks of numbing cold and cabin fever.

The perfect show of unity primarily between the City and County, the CJE and the Mayor.

There was a perfect keynote speech by Bank of Columbia President Robert Flowers.

The perfect summation, at the end, "We can never do enough for our veterans."

And the unspoken responsive resolution, "But we should never cease to try."

Poetry by Robert Stone: A sonnet for Valentine's Day

How many hows
-a sonnet for Valentine's Day on requited love
I did not choose to love you at first sight
but chose to live these barren four long years
with unrequited wishes taking flight
and winging aimless through my hopes and fears.

I am still caught within my own spun web
but now escape to play from time to time
with fearful force before the coming ebb
and joyful noise before the vesper chime.

I probably will be forever stuck
but hope to die contented at my last
with each memento of unlucky luck
and every unremembered sadness past.

I do not know how many hows may be
but still believe that one may set me free.

- Robert Stone, 12 February 2011
