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!
