Chinese spy balloon didn’t collect any information over US that satellites couldn’t get, Pentagon says
The Chinese surveillance balloon that hovered over the United States two months ago might have picked up some intelligence from sensitive military sites, but it would be nothing more valuable than what Beijing could already collect with its satellites, the Pentagon said.

Government review of US exit from Afghanistan concludes evacuation should’ve started sooner, faults moves by Trump
The report is the result of many months of investigations by Biden’s administration into the decision-making process of leaving Afghanistan. Many aspects of the pullout were chaotic, and led to 13 U.S. service members being killed near a gate of the Kabul airport by a pair of suicide attacks.

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 was walking in a mall and a young man told me, “Thank you for your service.” I was wearing an Army hat. That made my day, and made me feel proud. Doesn’t happen all that often, but when it does you feel a rush of pride.

Everytime I see a veteran I thank them for their service. You can see their eyes light up. It makes them feel good, and me too. Often we stop and talk. Too rushed, but gratifying.

Take time to greet your fellow veterans. They are your brothers and sisters.
