It is very surprising to see how many veterans live near you. I found out that there are four veterans right on my street. I have connected, and we do things together.

Try doing the same. Ask every neighbor near you if the are a veteran. I think you might be surprised. If you have some get to know them and have “talk,” time.

There was a frightening video on the news the other day. It showed a Russian soldier running along a trench and is killed by a drone. The only soldier left beg to be captured to save his life. They let him be captured.

The drones will control future wars. I have no doubt in my mind that it will happen. This is good in some way. No lives are lost as a drone is doing its thing.

There could be a drone war. Drones attacking each other.

US Military Investigating Leak of Emails From Pentagon Server

I remember my time in Korea, and one of the times I was injured while doing my job. I was a member of the Army Security Agency, and my job was to monitor airway for breaches of security. I was attached to the 321’s ASA company.

One night up on hill 468, things went bad. The lights went out, and I figured that the generator was out of gas.

I went out to check and I was right. So I climbed up on the huge generator and started pouring in the gas. About half way through i slipped and was falling off of the generator. I grabbed what ever I could the break my fall. Unfortunately it was the hot manifold.

I severely burnt my hand. I still had three hours on my shift. What should I do?

I was told by my sergeant that no matter what you need to stay at your post. I went back inside and put ointment on my hand and continued working with one hand.

When my shift was over I went to the medics and they doctored me up.

Have you had an incident like this? Let me know about it.
