I am sitting her listening to my nephew whistling for the first time. He is overwhelmed with joy, and so am I.

As I look at him I realize why I served my country. Freedom is not free, and because of the millions of veterans, and current service men we have that freedom, and my nephew does too.

I am on vacation. I am in Sun River, Oregon. It is a fabulous vacation spot. Something for everyone, and lots of sun.

As I look out the window, I can see deer grazing. I can see people riding bikes. It makes me feel good to see so many beautiful animals, and people enjoying themselves.

BTW… there is a 150 pound German Shepard dog waiting for anyone who is brave enough to try to break in to our home.. He will chew you up.

I am hearing too much about aircraft crashing and killing the soldiers inside. There needs to be a much stricter maintenance done on the aircraft. Most reports say there was a faulty part for the cause. They need to do a complete check up everyday before take off. Too much work? You are saving lives when you do.

I have a friend who served in Vietnam. He was wounded and refuses to get the Purple Heart. I have talked to him many times, and he still refuses to get it. He says there were too many generals that just had a hang nail so they could get theirs.

In my opinion, that has nothing to do with my friend. He was really wounded and deserves it.

Still working on it.
