I had a bad hair while working at hill 468 in South Korea. (All the hills were numbered in Korea.)

It was very foggy. I couldn’t even see the gate. I stayed inside the hut.

Then I started hearing something where the equipment was kept. I opened the door to look, but the fog was too thick to see anything. Even with me opening the door the noises continued.

Then it sounded like a gas container had been opened. I then knew what going on.

A slicky boy (thief) Was stealing gas. Gas brought in big bucks on the black market.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I picked up my M-1 rifle and shot twice in the air. The noises stopped immediately. I could hear someone running.

The next day after the fog went away, I walked out to the gate area. In the rolling barbed wire I found a shoe with blood on it. Nothing else was there.

How that guy got through that wire I do not know even today.

The hardest people for me to interview for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life, are the Vietnam soldiers. They bury their thoughts and refuse to share them.

I had a few open up a little, but it was very difficult to pry it out of them.

Many soldiers lost buddies and that broke them down immensely. They talk about how they shouldn’t be here, because their buddies are not.

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.
