Why a Marine who helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima kept it a secret for decades
“I told him he was a hero — to which he said, ‘No, I was a Marine.’”

American, Japanese and South Korean fighter jets escort bombers as North Korea stages more missile launches
The joint bilateral drills were planned for some time, but North Korea’s launches were sudden.

While in South Korea, I was walking back to my barracks, when I saw a man come out of the base bar, and started to take a leak. He has just startled when he saw that his urine was freezing before it hit the ground. He immediately went back inside. At the same time four soldiers came out of the bar and they were pretty drunk. They challenged one of them to stick his tongue on the flag pole bar. I wanted to scream out try to stop him, but it was too late. He put his tongue on the bar and it froze to the bar.

He started screaming in pain, and his buddies knew right away it was a wrong thing to do. They called the medics and they came. They had to use some hot water to get him loose, which hurt him even more.

Not sure how long he was in the hospital, and what his company commander thought about it.

  4. Zachary Taylor.

I came across some old medals I had earned while in the service. There was the usual, Good conduct Medal. However I found two medals from the firing range. One was Marksman, the other Expert. I looked in my military papers and it should have been expert. Only one other soldier did better shooting than me.

_______________________________________________________________

As I look back in my service time, I am guessing I would have been a good sniper. It isn’t the type of job I was really seeking, but I would have done well.

_______________________________________________________________

Are you proud of your service. Did you do many good things. Let others know. It may seem like bragging, but you earned it.

Iranian-made drones are turning up in Ukraine as well as the Middle East.

Not very much current military news today. I guess that is a good thing.

______________________________________________________________

Saw an article that was an interview with a Army General on his views of the Ukraine war. He was very clear that the Russians were undertrained, and not capable of being a good fighting force.

Using prisoners is a disaster. They have no training and are sent to the front lines to be slaughtered.

The assistance from the United States has made a huge difference. Ukrainians are be trained with the latest weapons.

Russia is using WWII type weapons, and it shows.

The generals prediction is that the war will end in negotiations.

I am now down to just three interviews left and then it is off to the publisher, BookBaby. Thos 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.
