A huge blossom for your coverage of the Quilts of Valor story on the front page of your Oct. 5 issue. A slight barb for not capitalizing the word "marine" in your story. According to the New York Times and Associated Press and Chicago Tribune Style Manuals "Marine" should be capitalized. Thank you for attending to this matter. - Michael L. "Gunner" Furgal, Chief Warrant Officer-3, U.S. Marine Corps (retired), Monroe
