Had coffee today with a WWII veteran. I have already interviewed him for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

It was great to just be able to talk to him. He is 98 years young and looking great.

My interview with him was full of near death experiences, and stories about freeing Jews from concentration camps. It is a must read.
