“Another day another dollar.” That was a saying during my youth. We were poor and lived one pay check to the next.

This was also the time WWII started. I had three uncles enlisted to fight in that war. Two of them earned Purple Hearts.

My mother loved General Douglas MaCarthur so much she gave me his first name.

Ukraine aims to develop air-to-air combat drones, government minister says Ukraine has bought some 1,400 drones, mostly for reconnaissance, and plans to develop combat models that can attack the exploding drones Russia has used during its invasion of the country, according to the Ukrainian government minister in charge of technology.

I had coffee with ten friends. (Yes I have ten friends.) It was a great time. Many of us have histories. Mine is that I am a veteran. Two others there are veterans. We try to sit close to each other so we can talk about our time in the military.

It is reassuring to share. There were some tough times for my Vietnam friend. He was wounded. The other veteran was in the army, but doesn’t have any “war,” stories.

I share my deployment to Korea. I have some very sad stories, (Loss of friends,) and some funny ones.

That is why I am writing my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life. It is full of stories about my time in the military. It also has many interviews with veterans. Some of their stories are terrifying and sad. Some have funny stories.

Keep coming back to see more about the book. Better yet…go to the top of this page and click on subscribe. When you do all future posts will go directly to your inbox.

Commentary from me on current news is also popular. I don’t pull any punches when I see something that is wrong in our world.
