It is shameful that so many vets, do not have enough food to eat. We need to reach out to them and get them help. the is no reason for them to suffer like this.

Of course many of them will tell you that they were trained to be tough. They feel badly seeking help.

The are many stories about the military that have been forgotten, but I interviewed four WWII veterans for my new book, and they are amazing. Each one had a near death experience. They didn’t do anything heroic, but put their lives on the line.

The book is called, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

It is important to stay connected with fellow veterans. I have been trying to do that for years.

I have a friend that I meet with every Tuesday and Thursday for coffee. We catch up with the world, and our feelings. Always feel refreshed when I leave.

I have a Zoom meeting every Tuesday morning. There is a veteran on there, and we even went to high school together. Fun stories and serious talk.

Seek out other veterans and share your good stories and your hurts.

Some people think we should be cutting back on funding for the military. Are they deaf and blind? We are near a war with several countries, and the writing on the wall says, stand ready!

Can’t be ready if we are cutting back on equipment and troops.

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.
