Who ever wrote this piece deserves a golden pen award... To the point and also true. Elkhart County has been blessed with many talented individuals over the years, and the base remains solid even during this difficult period.

I like it ..... with one reservation, it is not necessariy representative of diversity in contribution and or, of being inclusive of the entire community.

It sounds too ---- "we are inventors" and kind inventors at that, and while this is indeed true and good .... not everyone in town, or everyone in town who struggles, is an "inventor" or, is effected by the industrial downturn suffered by the "inventor" class ....

but that is just me ....

This communicates the exact message needed to be conveyed today to the President. I agree - great job of writing.

It's so bizarre (yet cool) to visit other sites and see today's Truth front page being linked to or discussed.

where did that crazy title come from? the text says the exact opposite.

'We are weak. We are tired.'
