I was walking in the mall the other day, and I had my Army cap on. One young man thanked me for my service as he went by. I felt very proud to have served at that moment.

Have you been thanked for your service? Well, if not you are getting it now. THANK YOU! You served your country and should be proud. There was a lot of sacrifice as we served. However, that was what we signed up for. I would do it again in a New York minute.

I will update you again in how it is going in my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. I decided to add all the creeds for each branch of the military. They will be at the beginning of the book. I have other ideas to make it the best military book on the planet.
