I have been following the rate of new subscribers lately, and I have come to the conclusion that there is a big drop off. I think one of the reasons is because my domain name isn’t one people would want to go to. It has to tell them more about what the blog is about. So expect to see a new domain soon. I have some thoughts on choices:

  1. Signs of Hope for the Military.
  2. Veteran Doug Bolton Military
  3. Words from a military veteran.
  4. Voices From the Trenches.
  5. Whispers From the trenches.

Let me know what you think by going to the comment section below.

I really appreciate the over 15,000 veterans who have signed up so far. You all are my heroes.

I will keep sharing updates on how my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life. So keep coming back to check the progress. Better yet. God to the top of this page and click on subscribe. When you do all future posts will go directly to your inbox.
