Sign language interpreters

Dear Editor:

American Sign Language interpreters have always impressed me. I wonder if they receive the thanks and recognition they deserve.

They, too, are heroes in our complex world. In nearly every important news briefing, report and even funeral, the ASL interpreter stands in the shadows, quietly signing the information to those who require this kind of communication. I respect their training and skills, and although they are doing their job in silence, their message is loud and clear to those who receive it.
