In Your Opinion: Open Letter To The Franklin Township Council And Community

June 23, 2025 Speak Out!

By Beverly Lawson.

If you are not aware, June is Veterans’ Month.

At the June 12, 2025, council meeting, I asked whether a proclamation would be made in recognition of Veterans’ Month. I received no response. With the final meeting of June scheduled for June 24, I checked the agenda—and once again, there is no mention of veterans, no proclamation, no acknowledgement.

Veterans have always defended the rights of every citizen—regardless of background, belief, or cause. They have fought and died to preserve our freedoms, including the right to protest, to speak, and to gather. Yet this Council could not find the time or will to recognize them.
