Dear Editor: One of the most moving experiences I have had while traveling was a visit to the D-Day beaches on the coast of Normandy, France, where on June 6,1944, allied forces from the United States, Britain, Canada and many other nations began the invasion that would defeat Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

Who Are the Prophets?
Dear Editor: After reading the comments of Mary Geraghty (May 26 ), it seems that being a prophet today has changed from the past. Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable seems to mean seeking and preserving the good opinion of modern group think liberals.
Paying for ‘Entitlements’
Dear Editor: I want to comment on the letter in the June 16, 2018 Tablet by Frederick Bedell, “Social Security’s Future.” Mr. Bedell wants the government to do something about the coming collapse of Social Security and Medicare.
Reactions to the Tonys
Dear Editor: Tolerance?? Inclusion??? Civility??? I do not expect that from Hollywood celebrities and never did.
Champion of Immigrants
Dear Editor: Despite a torrential downpour, people came out in great numbers to pay their respect to Msgr. Ronald T. Marino, Rector of the Basilica of Regina Pacis, when he celebrated 45 years of his ordination to the priesthood.
Inspired by Plowshares
Dear Editor: The Plowshares movement mentioned in a letter (June 16) was my first exposure to radical protest against government practices.
Dangers of Marijuana
Dear Editor: As noted in Bishop DiMarzio’s Put Out in the Deep column (June 16), NYS legislators are making efforts to reduce arrests related to the possession of marijuana. If they succeed marijuana, a psychoactive and addictive drug, will become affordable and easily available. Like you Bishop DiMarzio, I strongly oppose the efforts at the decriminalization of marijuana.
Loves Teen’s Perspective
Dear Editor: I was deeply moved and inspired by reading the eloquent piece written by Jessica Dalonzo (June 2)“I Can Do All Things.”
Social Security’s Future
Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that Social Security and Medicare is in the red. Social Security can still make full payments until 2034 and Medicare’s reserve are to run out by 2026.
Greening of Church Property
Dear Editor: My deepest thanks to Christopher White and The Tablet staff for “Implementing Laudato Si’,”(May 26), informing us about the actions of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., to green unused roads in archdiocesan cemeteries to prevent storm water pollution into local rivers and streams.
