I am very proud to say that I have had over 800 posts for this site. It couldn’t happen if many of you hadn’t subscribed. I now have over 12,219 followers. I have been told that you love the military news, which is current. I am able to tap several military news agencies and share their news with you.

Sharing places to get help for veterans is another feature that is getting raves. I have no proof that this site has saved any lives, but I am sure it has.

Commentary from me on current news is also popular. I don’t pull any punches when I see something that is wrong in our world.

Today I have no excerpts from my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In an Out of the Trenches of Life. I am going to talk straight talk with you.

You served your country. You sacrificed your time to protect our country. Some have faced war wounds, others PTSD. Yet…they still love their country, and many would go back into the service in a New York minute.

Many went to battle and didn’t come home alive. They gave their all to protect our country, and the people of the country they died in.

This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. Time to honor those who served and also gave their all.

Reach out to those fellow veterans around you and thank them. I am proud to be a veteran, and so should you.
