Voice Of The Argus asks, "What can we do to show we care?" (September 14). Let the Americans know the British will never forget the US came to the aid of beleaguered Great Britain twice in the last century to preserve world freedom.

So is it not Great Britain's destiny, as an international island race, to become united, with the US - if that country will have us - instead of becoming a European state?

And would it not save lives if very tall buildings had emergency parachute provision above a certain height?
