Bravo to those who shared memories of war

The Jamestown Sun hands out these bravos this week:

* Bravo to all the North Dakota residents who shared their memories of the Vietnam War in Forum Communications newspapers this week.

* Bravo to the increase in the number of American white pelicans at Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge near Medina, N.D. A preliminary count found 31,534 breeding adults at the refuge this year, which is good news after thousands of birds died in 2004 and 2005. There were only 20,854 birds counted last year.

* Bravo to Concordia Lutheran Church, Williston, N.D., and its leader, the Rev. Jay Reinke, for providing space for homeless job seekers with nowhere else to go. The church provides 30 to 40 people with room to sleep on a typical night.

* Bravo to the organizers of the 16th annual White Cloud’s Birthday celebration and Tatanka Festival, and to all the people taking part in the events, which continue through Sunday.

* Bravo to the strong turnout at the Junk Jubilee in Jamestown last week.
