Check out this great photo from the Facebook page of JBLM's I Corps:

I Corps Commander Lt. Gen. Robert Brown honored Veterans at the 47th Auburn Veteran's Day Parade at Auburn, Washington Nov. 10, 2012 . Lt. Gen. Brown met with World War II, Korean, Vietnam, Iraqi and Enduring Freedom Vets, shook their hands, and said, "Thank you for your service." The I Corps commander also visited the new Veteran's Memorial Mural and its artists, Auburn High School students. Lt. Gen. Brown ended his trip as a participant in the parade.

Thanks for sharing, I Corps. And we at Patch wish all of our veterans a Happy Veterans Day.

Thank you for your service.

Despite your protestations to the contrary Steve, the Lakewood City Council does have a…Read More responsibility and has established precedent on such businesses. Lakewood Ordinance #358 (November, 2004) consisted of 22 pages that included references to statistics nation-wide concerning the harmful secondary effects of Sexually Oriented Businesses (SOB’s – Lakewood’s own designation) upon communities; findings of a variety of stakeholders including “representatives from businesses, educational institutions, community leaders, and representatives from the adult entertainment industry;” research and study by the Planning Advisory Board citing case law and neighboring city’s ordinances affecting adult entertainment facilities; and the resulting action, based on this research, found that “an improperly operated SOB can constitute a public or moral nuisance.” This research was conducted in keeping with Lakewood’s purpose “to protect, foster and support the goals and ideals of schools, religious and public service organizations serving the Lakewood community.”

I agree with the comment that the City of Lakewood wants businesses locating here. The more the…Read More businesses, the more the tax revenue. The more the revenue, the more the services. No argument there. What the City and many of its citizens do not want is businesses which do not fall within standard moral parameters. Coffee stands with near naked young women - who would be arrested for indecent exposure if they were to walk down the street dressed as they are in such coffee stands - does not meet that standard. Moreover, potential business owners who want to locate to Lakewood may decide not to because they may not want to do business in a city that seems to have little concern for civic and moral standards. Ah standards, what troublesome things they are. Then again, most adults do understand that moral standards matter to their families and community and, yes, businesses. So in your efforts to spend your money where you wish you argue that coffee stands that offer a peep show with the coffee is a better way of improving Lakewood's business environment when in reality it can do just the opposite? How is that smart?
