Do you hate waiting? I know I do. Even while I was in the Army they said, “Hurry up and wait.”

We have to wait for everything: For the red light to change, for that important mail, waiting in line.

It drives some nutty to have to wait very long. What can we do to take care of that?

  1. Patience is always important in these kinds of things.
  2. Know that when you finally get the things you waited for, it is good.
  3. Support others who are waiting for something.
  4. Find things to take your mind off of what you are waiting for.

______________________________________________________________

One of the things we have to wait for is getting things done with the VA department. I am there myself. I have two pleas for compensation that I have been waiting for, too many years. I will not give up. I know I have earned them, and will pursue them until my last breath.

I know this is harsh, but I truly believe that are waiting for us to die.

NEVER GIVE UP!!

Those who like war are enjoying our world right now. Sudan has exploded into a full war. Ukraine is on going.

Frankly my feeling is that there shouldn’t be any wars. They cause death and misery.

Why is it that movie stars love to play a soldiers role in a movie? I read an account by an actor that said, “I feel more patriotic.” Well, my response is that there a many soldiers in the military who go to the front line and are dodging real bullets Some never make it home. Now that is patriotic.

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.
