What a struggle I have been having. 2022 has been full of ailments and pain. I am glad to see 2023 coming.

It went from one ailment to the next. I had COVID, the flu, spinal infection, Hip pain, back pain, weakness in my legs, and other minor distractions. Am I having a pity party? Not at all. I am old as dirt, and these things come with age. I just grin and bear it.

The military has taught me to toughen things out.

I am about ready to interview a submariner. Not just any submariner, a nuclear submariner. Should be a great interview.

Have you ever been given a “thank you” for your service in the military? I have, and the feeling I had was being proud that I served. It makes your time in the service worth it.

If you haven’t I am telling you now. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. You deserve this greeting, and I thank you for your sacrifice.

Not enough people in the private sector are grateful for the military people who serve. I also have been told that they are spending too much on the military. I do not get angry, I just wonder what it would be like if there wasn’t any military to protect them.
