Dear Editor, As a veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving from 1982 through 1986, I'm voting for Jon Tester. I took a four-year leave of absence from my job as a locomotive engineer and took a heck of a pay cut to join the Navy. I have no regrets.

None of the Navy enlisted or officers that I served with had the experience, or knowledge necessary, to...

I'm going to have to get myself revved up again. There's so much to accomplish before the first frost hits in our area. Typically that happens any day now. And rain is in the forecast. I did get almost...
