Wrong message

To the editor:

Regarding the B-2 flyover planned for Saturday:

Is there not a better way to commemorate Veterans Day than to shatter the peace, rattle the windows, scare children and adults, and pollute the air within a one-mile radius of Memorial Stadium on a Saturday in November?

The overpowering sound of the flyover is just too reminiscent of a real bombing to be anything but terrifying. The message conveyed is not a celebration of veterans, but rather a celebration of war. Is that what we want as a community?
