It is a horrible war in Israel. Many women and children killed. The American death total for the war is 22. That is 22 too many. There are also 14 American people missing, probably hostages.

We have to move quickly and decisively. Our president needs to be strong and fight for our people. We will see if he does.

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.

Do you have to stay at your post if you are injured? I was told yes, while deployed to South Korea. I was working on hill 468 one day and the equipment stopped running. I went out to check the generator and it was out of gas. The person before me was supposed to fill it.

I got some gas containers and climbed up on the generator. I was pouring gas into the generator when I slipped. All I could grab to break my fall was the manifold. It was super hot and it burned my left hand tremendously. I went back inside the hut and tried to bandage the wound. I had some ointment and spread it on the hand that was severely burnt. I wrapped it up with some gauze.

It was extremally painful. What should I do? I could have called down to the headquarters and sought help. However, I didn’t want to mess up the working schedule. I lived in pain and finished my shift.

Was I a hero? Of course not, but I was gratified that I didn’t make things worse.

I saw the medics when I got down to the camp, and they put much better dressings on my hand. I only lost a couple of days of work.

For almost all of the roughly 2,500 people attending the ceremony to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, the sights, sounds and terrors of the surprise attack can only be imagined.

Have you ever been given a “thank you” for your service in the military? I have, and the feeling I had was being proud that I served. It makes your time in the service worth it.

If you haven’t I am telling you now. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. You deserve this greeting, and I thank you for your sacrifice.

Not enough people in the private sector are grateful for the military people who serve. I also have been told that they are spending too much on the military. I do not get angry, I just wonder what it would be like if there wasn’t any military to protect them.
