The proposed Alexandria Veterans Commission will be a valuable means of coordinating the many contributions veterans are making to our city. I hope that one of its functions will be to help publicize businesses owned by veterans, and to let us know which corporations employ veterans. And I certainly hope that the city itself, and firms doing business with the city, will be prominent among them, because, obviously, veterans are a mature and well trained human resource. In the event, heaven forbid, of any Alexandrians losing their lives in the line of duty, I trust the commission will ensure that a street name will honor them.
