Drones Target Russian Capital on Eve of Military Parade Attended By Putin 

The incidents were the latest in a series of attempted drone assaults—including on the Kremlin and on Russian border towns—that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv. Last week, a drone fell in the center of the capital near defense ministry headquarters, while another hit the south of the city, gutting several upper floors of a building.

It makes me proud to know how many soldiers are fighting in Ukraine. The question is why?

Why would they go to another country, and put themselves in harms way?

I think I know the answer. It isn’t that they are fighting to protect their own country. They are fighting to protect the lives of innocent people.

I am in the process of interviewing a submariner. Not just any submariner, but a nuclear submariner. Incredible interview. This should be enough to buy my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of life.

I also talked to a Vietnam veteran who is deciding if he will allow me to interview him. He has an amazing story. (He had a bayonet go through both legs in an one on one fight.

It is very surprising to see how many veterans live near you. I found out that there are four veterans right on my street. I have connected, and we do things together.

Try doing the same. Ask every neighbor near you if the are a veteran. I think you might be surprised. If you have some get to know them and have “talk,” time.

There was a frightening video on the news the other day. It showed a Russian soldier running along a trench and is killed by a drone. The only soldier left beg to be captured to save his life. They let him be captured.

The drones will control future wars. I have no doubt in my mind that it will happen. This is good in some way. No lives are lost as a drone is doing its thing.

There could be a drone war. Drones attacking each other.

I have started planning for a huge book signing event in my hometown. It will be at the convention center. I am reaching out to find some sponsors to pay for the room. The room holds 160 people. I will have guest speakers, and have several WWII veterans there.

I hope to have a winery come to sell their wine and give away free drinks. I also hope the winery will donate some bottles to give away at the tables.
