I had the privilege to meet a Vietnam veteran while shopping for groceries. I seem to have the knack to find them. This guy is a true hero. His name is Milt Hoch. He had three tours in Vietnam. He didn’t have to. He chose to.

He was in intense fighting, even face to face fighting. He was once stabbed through both legs at once with a bayonet. He was still able to kill the enemy and survive.

I have an interview with him in my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. It is riveting.

I have a good friend who is a Vietnam veteran. I have coffee with him twice a week, and we are going to lunch today.

I have tried to talk to him about his time there, and he just doesn’t want to talk. I asked him why.

He was wounded by shrapnel. I said he should get a Purple Heart for that. He thoughts are, “I lost too many friends. They deserve the Purple Heart, not me. I am still alive.”

________________________________________________________________

There are many Vietnam veterans that have that attitude. They have lost too many buddies, and don’t feel they deserve any medals since they are still alive. I can understand that, but they are still heroes in my book.

________________________________________________________________

The military seems to be losing good soldiers. The recruitment is going slowly. Not many young men feel they need to serve their country. I hope they are able to come up with ideas to overcome that.

‘Living Legends’: Florida Man, 101, Honored as One of Nation’s First Black Marines

George J. Johnson was a Montford Point Marine, one of about 20,000 men who were pioneers in the Corps—the first Black men allowed to become part of the storied “few” and “proud” after President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order in 1941 prohibiting the armed services from barring African Americans from military duty.

If I was physically able to do so I would go back into the military. I would do it in a New York minute. I love my country, and would defend it to the end.

There seems to be a shortage of new recruits. We need to find ways to have more of them join.
