Vivian Stierwalt: Want to honor veterans? Send a donation

Re “Club wants M Street to become Veterans Blvd.” (Page 2A, April 9): I’m writing in response to the article you published concerning changing the name of M Street. Nearly every week I receive a request for donations to disabled veterans. Personally, I think the cost of removing and replacing those street signs would be much more appreciated by the veterans in a lump sum, payable to the Disabled Veterans Fund. Please, leave M Street alone.

Vivian Stierwalt, Merced
