Ask Mr. Herald Chronicle

Reader Deb K. asked “Where is the military news on the website (tamatoledonews.com? The younger generation was raised on computers and the Internet, perhaps they would be more willing to share their military news if you added a section to your website for them.

“You could still use the news in the paper, but it would make it easier for them to submit info to you if they could do it on line. Just a suggestion as they can’t all make it downtown with their info.

“Also those serving in the armed forces overseas and out-of-state cannot always lay hands on our hometown paper and I know for a fact that a lot of them read the website.

“Therefore, I think it would be a nice way to let them know that folks back home have not forgotten them and that their hometown newspaper supports them.”

Mr. Herald Chronicle replies: “Deb has a good idea. The website tamatoledonews.com will request a section ‘News from the Military’ be added.

“Readers must be aware however, most, if not all personal news about active members of the U.S. military is issued and controlled by the branch of service in which the person is serving.

“As a result, most items appearing are dependent upon military news providers such as “Hometown News Service.”
