I did some research, (It gave me a headache) that showed what the pollsters thought were the best war movies as far as being authentic. Here is THEIR list:

  1. Saving Private Ryan
  2. The Best years of Our Lives
  3. In the Army now
  4. Platoon
  5. Black Hawk Down
  6. Apocalypse Now
  7. Full Metal Jacket

They chose them for how they got it right, whereas some military films are laughable how screwed up they were.

Here is one more endorsement for the book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

It is from a WWII veteran. George Woodruff. I met him on RallyPoint. Great guy. He was 94 and very ill when I connected so I am not sure if he is still with us.

George was on Hospice care when I first met him. He was at a special military assisted living facility in Alabama.

Here is his endorsement:

I know Doug. He is a good man. He knows the hearts of his fellow veterans. His book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and out of the trenches of Life is well written, and is vital for veterans.

He writes from the heart, and speaks of healing and soothing the souls of his brothers and sisters.

I highly recommend his book in that it especially reaches out to those who are suffering with PTSD, war wounds, depression, and many other problems.

President Biden is sticking to his decision to not pull out troops from Afghanistan. This is causing many angry family members of those troops. They thought their loved ones would be home by May, and now there is no definite timeline.

There is also a rumor that Biden will slash the military budget way down to help pay for his Trillion dollar fantasys. He is certainly showing that he doesn’t love the military like President Trump did.

Don’t Forget Our Warriors who Are Deployed. They Need Some Prayers and Love

The very sad news to start off with. Our president has vetoed the main bill that supports the military. Even most of the Republicans are mad. Now sure what this means. More to follow in future posts.

______________________________________

This is the time to do some deep thinking. It is just two days before Christmas and we have thousands of soldiers deployed who will not be home with their families. We can complain ourselves because many of us will not be able to be with our families, but remember they are safe and our military are in harms way.

Pray for them. We need to get connected some how through the Zoom type programs. A phone call, however short it is, will lift up their spirits greatly.

Well, the vaccine is finally getting out to the people. I thought I was way down the list, but found out that because of my health issues I am next inline after all the first responders and assisted living folks.

______________________________________

I have one thing that has me boiling!! I found out that our governor has decided to let the prisoners in our state get their shots before they even give any to the assisted living people. apparently they whine to the governor in my stats, that they can’t social distance so they need it now. She gave in.

Maybe they shouldn’t have been placed in that Hell hole in the first place!! They did something bad and they shouldn’t whining at all.

_______________________________________

I have been sharing all the new equipment the military is getting to up date all of their arsenals and far better equipment. is coming.

I believe a strong military helps avoids any wars.

Doug Bolton, the founder of the blog, Signs of Hope, which is at www.dailysignsofhope.com, has written a new book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.” It will be reaching out the many military and veterans who may be battling anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, rejections, and the many other usual suspects. There are 22 military connected suicides every day. That is almost one every hour. Doug wants to help stop those statistics.

This is a new social network just for veterans. I joined it and made instant friendships with veterans who want to talk about what I want to talk about. Please check it out. You will be glad you did.

Have you ever had someone on say to you, “Come on Man!.” Meaning that they may not believe what you are telling them.

It is a common phrase that I have heard from time to time.

Here are some facts about veterans that you may not believe either:

  • 22 veterans take their own lives every day. I didn’t say every year. I said every day. That is appalling! We need to find way to reach out to our brother and sisters from the military.
  • There are a total of 22 million veterans in all branches of service. 22 million men and women who are putting themselves in harm’s way so that you and I can live in a free country.
  • There are 4 million veterans disabled. Many have wounds that forces them into wheelchairs, assisted living facilities, and need permanent care every day.
  • This is the saddest statistic: There are 1/2 million veterans who are homeless and live on the streets. They fought for us, and now they are living day to day in the cold, damp, world as we know it, with only cardboard, or newspapers covering them.

COME ON MAN!!!

Yes, it is hard to believe this is happening in our own country, but it is the truth. These are not made up statistics. These aren’t there to make you ashamed, even though I am. They are there to try to wake all of us up and do something about it.

Those of you that may be suffering. Be strong! Let people help you. Don’t hide in your own self pity. I am a disabled veteran myself, and know the pain that you have to go through in life.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
