A reader recently wrote to the Deseret News regarding the "IdentiKid" identification card that can be obtained periodically from your local elementary school. Yes, it is a reminder of the perilous times in which we live when we have an identification card for our children with their picture and fingerprint, etc.
However, I was very grateful that I had obtained this ID card because it proved to be absolutely necessary when we traveled during our recent vacation. Our son needed to show his "IdentiKid" card each time we boarded an airplane or an Amtrak train. I was glad that I had taken advantage of this service.
Also, there is nothing like a vacation to remind me of the quality of the Deseret News. The Deseret News is an informative newspaper with excellent columnists, writers and photographers. We are fortunate to have this newspaper serving our community.
