Gust: Health care professionals need protest the vulnerable
To the Editor:
This morning (March 12) I was taking my dog Charley out and saw thebrightening in the east of the sunrise, announcing a new day. The night’s darkness was passing away.

When I drive down Highway 75, I see the city of Luverne’s sign saying that we’re all in this together. I don’t think that we are. I feel it is more like us, the freedom-loving, small business-owning, free-thinking American Patriots against a Nazi regime up in the cities. A regime...

We the People have had enough. We value our loved ones. If you choose to not see your loved ones in person, so be it. But don’t tell us we can’t. Go visit your grandparents, quit living in fear. You don’t know what tomorrow holds, embrace those you love now.

It was very cold, and snowing outside,
