Those of us who work with words for a living — and maybe others? — noticed this misplaced modifier in the program for Monday's Veterans Day program in Tracy. (It was in all-caps, but I'll spare you that.)"Sergant First Class Valentino Vaughn, U.S. Army unveiling of the name of SFC Tung M. Nguyen, U.S. Army, killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom by the members of the Tracy City Council."
Sergeant is misspelled, but the real crime here is that the members of the Tracy City Council appear to have killed someone during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
But no. The City Council members merely unveiled the name on the Tracy War Memorial.

OK Cheri my crime is being guilty of not checking in on your blog frequently, but I was maybe starting to give up on you.
That grammar error is a BIG ouch, I gotta say. It made me LOL just now reading it. And as one who has emailed you in the past regarding errors in the TP, I have to admit I did miss this one.
