Troops deserve place on Page One

May 6, 2008

Front-page articles get attention, particularly in the Sunday edition. The Sun's choice of articles for Sunday's front page included articles on a school for Towson, the presidential campaign, Microsoft, marshes and mercury, and a criminal.

The war in Iraq was on Page 3A ("Faulty wiring killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq," May 4).

As a longtime subscriber, I am disappointed.

Our troops deserve regular front-page coverage.
