Found some more interesting facts. These are from the 9-11 attacks:

(We should never forget!)

  1. 19 highjackers.
  2. 2,977 people killed in New York City, Washington D.C., and outside Shanksville, PA.
  3. 2,753 people killed at the World Trade Center.
  4. 343 firefighters who died in the initial attacks and during the collapse of the towers.
  5. 23 police officers who died.
  6. 37 Port Authority officers during the attacks and the collapse.
  7. 184 people when flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon.
  8. 40 people died when flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, PA.

A total of 6,320 people lost their lives on that horrible day.

I am switching my thoughts to my up coming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In an Out of the Trenches of Life.

I am going to give you the outline again. It has been awhile since I last did that:

  1. The first section will stories from my basic training. This will have humor, some tense moments, and proud moments. At the end of each chapter I will be sharing thoughts on how you and I can survive in the not so firendly world as civilians.
  2. The second section will have stories from my deployment to Korea. It also will have some humor, tense moments, and unfortantly some very sad moments.
  3. The third section will sotries from my time at FT. Bragg. again, a little humor, but a few very scary moments.
  4. The last section is my favorite part. It is full of interviews from veterans who have been there and done that. Some of these stories are very scary, sad, humorous, and fansicnating. I have WWII, Korean, Iraq, Vietnam, and Afghanstan, interviews from soldiers.

I am going to share you an interview today. It is about a WWII veteran who had a near death experience.

I will name him in the book, but not now.

He was in France and he and four of his buddies were pinned down. I mean really pinned down by enemy fire. You can think about trenches to hide in, but these poor guys could only lay flat in furrows. Those are what is left after a plow comes through. If they stuck up any part of thier body they were dead.

My friend heard something coming up behind him. It was the tank Corp. They pulled over the top of him; opened the hatch, and pulled him in. They did that with the other four buddies as well. They didn’t know heroes had their backs.

I hoe you are getting excited about this upcoming book. It is perfect for all veterans, and even current military. It will give you hope and answers. Some of the chapters talk directly about issues:

  1. PTSD
  2. TBI
  3. War wounds
  4. depression, Suicidial thoughts
  5. People left behind after deployment
  6. Much more

_______________________________________________________

There will be a great index as well. It will be full of places to get help for any of your issues.

Had a very intersting weekend. Went and stayed in Portland for my niece’s wedding. Yes, that is the Portland that has had 101 straight days of rioting. Well, we hit it lucky. The smoke from the wild fires in Oregon was so thick, the rioters were too cowardly to come out and play. Of course they were back in full force today.

Ted Wheeler, (Weak Man) the mayor of that city, told the Portland Police they couldn’t use tear gas anymore because it was too harmful. So the Federal Agents protecting the Federal buildings used it instead. I love it!!

I know this all sounds wee bit harsh, but people have died; businesses have been destroyed, and many police were hurt.

Thought I would share a couple of jokes to cheer us up. We can really use it.

  1. People who think times heals everything haven’t sat it out in a doctor’s waiting room!
  2. What do you call an apology with dots and dashes, re-morse code.

Just got an email from a Sargeant Major from Vermont a few minutes ago. He is battling COVID-19, and he lost his wife to it August 30th. Sad to hear one of our brothers is going through so much pain. Be strong my friend and get well.

I am hanging strong for President Trump. This man loves the military, and people are tryng to quote him as saying the military are, “suckers, and losers.” DIDN”T HAPPEN!! They are getting desaparte because the polls are tighting fast. Trump will prvail and our nation will grow even more than it did.

Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away today. A big loss to the liberal cause. She was a great lady. I didn’t agree with much of what she believed, but I admire her for her leadership.

When I reported the last time there was a war going on in Portland, Oregon. Well, it is still going on. It has been 103 straight days of rioting.

Governor(Do nothing) Brown ordered the State Police to come and stop the rioting. But they couldn’t do much because of the local prosecutors said they wouldn’t persecute. The Feds got smart and deputized all of the Oregon State Police, and now they can arrest and they will be facing federal prosecutors. We will have to wait and see how that turns out.

I have had an amazing thing happening. On Facebook alone, I have 3,000 new followers in the last two weeks. The great news is that all 3,000 followers are veterans!! hope you will join me there as well. Just put Doug Bolton in the search are and follow me. I am converting my page into complete military theme. (If you get a message that I have reach my 5,000 and you cant be a follower, hang tight. Working on clearing out my followers daily.

The fake media is blasting President Trump for supposedly saying that the military are a bunch of losers. They also claim that he said he wouldn’t go to Arlington cemetery because he didn’t want to get his hair wet. Fact is that they felt it was too stormy to go in the helicopter. The democrats, especially Joe Biden have been hitting hard in ad commercials and while speaking publicly. It is all lies!! The fact check people said this never happened. People who with President trump at the time they claim he said those words, say it is a total fabrication. SEEK THE TRUTH!! Trump loves the military.
