Letter To The Editor: Celebrating Sean Durkee

This letter was submitted by William and Mary Anne Durkee:

Recognition of Promotion of Sean Durkee to the US Army Reserve Warrant Officer CW3 Position

To: Editor of the Waltham Patch:

We are the proud parents of veteran Sean Durkee who was the recent recipient of the CW3 position in the US Army Reserve.

We celebrated with family and the members of his units past and present on their base. The Warrant Officer position recognizes expertise in the many facets of their field.

Sean gave a stirring address to each member of the unit serving its international role. His charge to each member was to continue to improve and to leave all mishaps behind.

Stay safe Sean and thank you and your comrades for your service!

William W. Durkee, Jr. (Dad) and Mary Anne (Mom)

There are three ways to submit a Letter to the Editor to the Waltham Patch:

1. As a blog post. Submitting a Letter to the Editor as a blog post is easy (really as simple as writing an email) and immediate (as soon as you hit "Approve," it'll be live on the site). If you plan on submitting multiple letters over time, submitting them as blog posts will also allow you to establish a voice or presence on the site. However, still feel free to submit as a blog even if you only plan on writing one. Try this: How do I make a Patch account?

2. As a neighbor post. It's as easy as going clicking typing and posting. Head to The Waltham Patch, look for where it asks "ask a question or share local news" click on that and you'll see a pop up that asks "What's happening near you?" Write your letter here, click the "opinion" option, and click green "post" buton. And you're live! (Pro tip: come back and use the tabs along the top: post, event, classified, article to post to our calendar, classified section and blog)

3. By emailing it to the Waltham Patch Waltham@Patch.com. If you chose this route, be sure to include your name and the name of the street you live on, and please specify that your email is intended as a Letter to the Editor in the subject line. We try and publish emailed Letter to the Editors within 48 hours (during the week) but there is no guarantee.

*We accept Letters to the Editor that have been published or submitted to other publications.
