It is important to stay connected with fellow veterans. I have been trying to do that for years.

I have a friend that I meet with every Tuesday and Thursday for coffee. We catch up with the world, and our feelings. Always feel refreshed when I leave.

I have a Zoom meeting every Tuesday morning. There is a veteran on there, and we even went to high school together. Fun stories and serious talk.

Seek out other veterans and share your good stories and your hurts.

Some people think we should be cutting back on funding for the military. Are they deaf and blind? We are near a war with several countries, and the writing on the wall says, stand ready!

Can’t be ready if we are cutting back on equipment and troops.

I was walking in a mall the other day. I had my army hat on. A young man stopped me and said thank you to me. That certainly made my day. We need to be thanking all service men and women when we see them. It will make their day, and make you smile.

I have been struggling lately. I have been diagnosed with severe multilevel degenerative disc disease, and facet arthrosis throughout the lumbar spine. The pain is very hard to handle. I am taking some meds to help, but the pain is still there.

I have been referred to an orthopedic doctor. Waiting to get his call to schedule.

I went to acupuncture, but the doctor there decided that my problem was too big for him to handle.

_______________________________________________________________

I know that my back problems are from a jeep accident I had in the military. I was thrown from the jeep back first onto a big boulder. The impact was so hard I lost consciousness. I woke up in a medic tent screaming in pain. They rushed to get me some morphine. That helped.

I have had three back surgeries through the years and still deal with a lot of pain.

_______________________________________________________________

Why do I whine? It is because I encourage all my brothers and sisters in the military to reach out for help. So many veterans end their lives because they are tired of the pain.

Seek help if you need it!!

_______________________________________________________________

I am down to my last three interviews for my upcoming book, Signs of hope for the Military: In ans Out of the Trenches of life.

Those interviews are:

    1. Charles Strange- a Gold Star father 2.

    Milton Hoch- a Vietnam veteran.

    3. A submariner who was on a nuclear sub.

These three interviews will be exciting. The Vietnam interview will be riveting, and most interesting.
