For you information, I just posted my 800th post last Friday. It has been a long journey, and thank you for being there with me.

I was having coffee with some friends recently, and I talked to them about this site. A heated discussion started. Most of the people thought it was a great idea, and subscribed later to my site. However, one asked why he should subscribe. I said it is a site to help veterans. He went on to think I was just doing it to get praise. My blood pressure went up a little, and I said, ” I have no reason for praise.” He scoffed and said he would think about it. He never subscribed.

There are far too many civilians who have that mentality. They do not like the military, and do not like how much is spent for them. They never seem to think what it would be like if we didn’t have a military.

If you have faced these kind of people, be strong and assure them that you are proud you served.
