‘Whom will you be thinking about or remembering on Memorial Day?’
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“I lost one of my partners in
a fi refi ght in Afghanistan
in February 2007. I also
take that time to remember
all my brothers, from all
the branches, who made the
ultimate sacrifi ce not only for
their families, but also for our country.”
“My mom and dad both served
in World War II. My Uncle
Frank, in the Navy, died
early on in World War II. My
mother served in New Zea-
land as a nurse, taking care of
downed bomber pilots. My father
was on a repair ship, fi xing ships at sea.”
“I will be thinking of
all of the members
of the Welsh Choir,
and I will sing in the
Astoria Column. The
echo turns my weak
voice into a vibrant
choir.”

The Daily Astorian has
found its new photographer.
Danny Miller, 23, stepped
into the position Monday, tak-
ing over from Joshua Bes-
sex, who took a job with the
News Tribune Co. in Tacoma,
Washington.
Born and raised in Phoenix,
Arizona, Miller graduated in
June from Western Washington
University. Though he began his
college career not knowing what
he wanted to do professionally,
he found himself taking journal-
ism classes, including a class in
photojournalism, and “just fell
in love with it.”
