I had a very hard hair day yesterday. The pain level was at 10 and meds weren’t doing it for me. It has been a battle to even see a doctor. My primary doctor referred me to a orthopedic clinic. He even called them to try to get it going sooner, and no one answered the phone. He had to leave a message.

This delay is uncalled for. I feel that maybe the VA could even have done better.

I have started planning for a huge book signing event in my hometown. It will be at the convention center. I am reaching out to find some sponsors to pay for the room. The room holds 160 people. I will have guest speakers, and have several WWII veterans there.

I hope to have a winery come to sell their wine and give away free drinks. I also hope the winery will donate some bottles to give away at the tables.

I have been seeing stories about many heroic actions done by our brothers and sisters in the military.

One that never has left my mind after all these years was the attack that brought two Black Hawks down in Somalia. The men fought until the end, and one officer was taken prisoner. Two of the members received the Medal of Honor.

Another was the medic in WWII who kept going back into the battle to save over thirty men. He kept praying “Just one More Lord.”

Yes, there were times that there have been heroic actions in the private sector, but not where their own lives were in such danger.
