Excerpt~ Not a fan of Clarke due to his longstanding unwillingness to appoint a full-time Director of Veterans Affairs that works as liaison between veterans and the VA, Merretazon is now outraged that upon the destruction of Edison High and the announcement of its replacement, Edison Square – a strip mall with plans to include several budget-line food stores – that the City Council President didn’t advocate for a veterans memorial. “Darrell Clarke is a graduate of Edison High yet he has no respect for the 64 veterans who sacrificed their lives for him and this entire country. He has never attended the annual memorial ceremony to honor Edison’s fallen warriors. He has aspirations to be the Mayor, but how can we depend on him as Philadelphia’s leader without him first apologizing and repairing the damage he has done and is doing to the veteran community in the nation’s fifth largest city.”
