Carol Anderson begins her recent letter to the editor by expressing her “concern” for the health of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi but goes on to wonder how official was the trip to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain (actually it was for the Battle of the Bulge) and on whose dime did they go (“Ill-fated Pelosi trip raises some questions,” Dec. 17).
A simple internet search will show the bipartisan delegation (yes, Democrats and Republicans) was sent at the direction of President Joe Biden and would therefore be paid by taxpayers. I certainly have no issue with my tax dollars being used to send a bipartisan Congressional delegation to celebrate the 80th anniversary of one of the most pivotal battles fought during World War II and to honor the American soldiers who fought and died in that battle.
I especially have no issue with honoring the courage and sacrifice of those soldiers since my father was one of them. I do hope the letter writer will continue to closely monitor possibly wasteful government spending in the next administration as well.
