Dear Editor, Our message to the thousands of War on Terror heroes should be, “You did your duty and accomplished your mission. We thank you for your service and honor you as victors.” The fact there was never a repeat of Sept.11, 2001 is proof that our troops and their sacrifices won the war in […]
Dear Editor, I was going to send my response to you last week about the Jennifer Hart letter to the editor, but did not. I am glad that I did not because I want to add something more because of this last week’s issue. Letter writer Jay Taylor you are right on. I am sure […]
Dear Editor, Twelve Marines and a Navy Corpsman died at the Kabul Airport because our nation’s top leadership – from the president to his entire top leadership team – failed them. “The buck stops with me,” President Joe Biden read from a teleprompter at his recent press conference. Then he blamed everyone else for his […]
Dear Editor, Residents from Oxford, Lake Orion, Brandon Township, Troy, and other cities in Oakland County have been trying to get the attention of the County Board of Commissioners for nearly four months.

The Oxford Downtown Development Authority (DDA) partnered with Oxford Bank to create a fun, interactive family event that will benefit […]
Dear Editor, My neighbor, sweet Louise is 92 years young and a longtime resident of Lakeville Lake. She and I are just baffled why Addison Township has decided to issue over 50 criminal citations to Lakeville Lake residents for dock violations. Louise got a citation and has already appeared twice before the 52nd District Court. […]
Who says young people don’t like newspapers? This scrapping young lad, Quinn Cooke, 17-months-old, is clearly ahead of the curve on learning current events — and probably The Leader’s youngest reader.
