THANKS FOR SHOWING THE TRUE FACES OF METH

I would like to commend the Times for the content of the article about
"Medals and Meth." It shows that there are people in the community who are
willing to give second chances to those who have made poor choices in their
lives. There are so many instances when people try desperately to redeem
themselves, and are shunned for the mistakes they have made. Granted, their
unacceptable behavior should not be tolerated by society and there is a
price to be paid for that. But unless someone is willing to provide an
opportunity for a fresh start to those who are willing to work for it, most
will become discouraged and the cycle will not get broken. Bravo to you for
your courageous stand!
