Creative Arts Festival at Salisbury VA : Friday, May 02, 2008 7:24 AM
I contacted the owner of the paper and asked why the reporter that told us (the American Legion Auxiliary) that she would cover the story and place an article. He told me he would check it out and call me back, but guess what, not call or another contact. Just like his reporter, empty words. If it had not been for the VA staff writing this report and sending it in, no coverage would have been given. My question is this, why is a verbal commitment not upheld anymore? Our veterans desire better than this.
