Short-range missile defense became an afterthought with the end of the Soviet Union and the rise of counterinsurgency warfare elsewhere. Now, however, the soldiers of the 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment training at Grafenwoehr find their mission back in the spotlight.

I have a fun trip today. Going to lunch with a Vietnam veteran. He was a helicopter pilot, and a gunner. He is very private about his time their. So far I can get information about his being wounded with Chrapinell. He didn’t get the Purple Heart medal, because he didn’t feel like he deserved it. He said he lost too many friends, and he is alive.

I am working on him to accept the medal, because I can arrange that for him.

There are many veterans that have that mentality. They feel so badly that their buddies died and they lived. I have interviewed several veterans for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: IN and Out of The Trenches of Life, that feel that way.

I encourage you to check on your friends and neighbors. I did that and found that three of my neighbors were veterans. One of them was a WWII veteran. Two have passed on, but they will be remembered forever.

I go to coffee twice a week, and I found out that two of my coffee buddies are veterans. There is another coffee group that meets at the same time. They have three veterans.

Reach out to find veterans. Be their friends, and help them if they need help.
